Yeah, that happens all the time - you can ignore this for the moment as 
JACK is working, it's just not working as well as it could be.  Like I 
think you tried before, good settings for JACK on the SBLive I find 
are:

$ jackd -d alsa -d hw -r 44100 -p 2048 -n 2

Ok, when you run "rosegardensequencer" in another terminal window this 
will start up the sequencer part of Rosegarden, it doesn't have a 
GUI/window on this part.

What you need to do after that is go to another terminal window and run 
"rosegarden" - _then_ you should see the main window appear.

If you've installed Rosegarden on your system correctly you can indeed 
just type in "rosegarden" and everything (exclucing JACK) will start.  
The two part method of starting it up is to allow you to troubleshoot 
your system.

Your system looks fine, I think you're just not starting Rosegarden up 
correctly now.  You're not getting the "mutex destroy failure" thing 
any more are you?  If you've built Rosegarden from source then make 
sure you've done a "make install" and try running it up.

If that doesn't work you can also just type:

$ rosegarden --nosequencer

to see if the main window comes up..

HTH,
