No, I don't think so.  File a bug I guess.

Oh, I like this idea.  So the jack-audio-connection-kit %post would
create a jackuser group, and add the following to limits.conf...

@jackuser - rtprio 20
@jackuser - memlock 131072

Then we could still have a wrapper around qjackctl to see if the user is
a member of the jackuser group and give them the option of joining if
not (via consolehelper app).

Does that sound right?
