Sounds like something is really broken in your box. Is this an install
from scratch? Do any programs actually work? I was going to suggest that
sound may not be setup correctly but from what you say qjackctl is not
starting up and that does not depend on anything (sound or midi) until
you actually press play in the gui. 

Hmmm, hard to know what to say. 

You could check the integrity of the installed programs by doing:
  rpm -V name_of_package 
(for example "rpm -V qjackctl")
if there are no errors then the binary install is fine and something
should be wrong with the libraries that the program uses. 

For example, in qjackctl, does it find all the shared libraries it
needs?:
  ldd /usr/bin/qjackctl

Also, have you installed from source base libraries (like qt, gtk2,
etc)?
