Bug#539581: jackd always tries to run realtime

Package: jackd
Version: 0.116.2+svn3592-2
Severity: important

I cannot get jackd to run, as it continues to try running in realtime mode, despite a dpkg-reconfigure jackd, and selecting 'no' to the question (mistakenly selected 'yes' previously)
now it simply refuses to start with the following error:

"JACK is running in realtime mode, but you are not allowed to use realtime scheduling.

After applying these changes, please re-login in order for them to take effect.

You don't appear to have a sane system configuration. It is very likely that you
encounter xruns. Please apply all the above mentioned changes and start jack again!"

Is it asking me to completely log out of every shell, X, etc before I can use it?
Is this a debian bug, or some new, even more frustrating Jack thing?
I can't figure out if I'm having problems with Rosegarden until I get Jack running (problem using plugins, not sure if it wants Jack running, or some other problem, as I always had it running in the past).
