If it's a imported session from another setup there only should be the
information, that e.g. 3 outputs of Rosegarden were connected to a
hardware MIDI output that was connected to a MIDI thru box, that was
connected to synth a and synth b and another output was connected to
synth c, while the last output was connected to synth d and via MIDI
thru to effect a.

You have to connect it manually. Not if you just changed a TerraTec with
one MIDI IO by a RME also having one MIDI IO for your setup, but if you
will import a session in another studio, it will be more comfortable to
reconnect everything by QJackCtl manually, than to let it auto-connect,
so that you have to reconnect all synth and effects to the computer's
interfaces new. Studios often have big audio patchbays, but seldom big
MIDI patchbays.

Export and import always will cause some manual work. Often you will use
in another studio other synth, e.g. you do drums with an Alesis drum
module at home and in a studio you will use an Akai sampler for drums
instead.

Export and import for audio means, that you will play your recordings,
but export and import for MIDI often means that you will use different
synth. That's the advantage of MIDI. If you don't need this, it's better
to record the MIDI synth and to export and import audio instead of MIDI.
