atm, a lot of software are doing auto-connection, and there is no good way  
to control this IMO atm. qjackctl has the ability to auto-connect apps,  
but not to auto-disconnect.
I do prefer that apps do not autoconnect, but at the same time, I don't  
mind having the option.
I would vote for adding a toggle for this in pd jack setup.
