The problem with the plugin is: it is not available for Mac OS X atm  
and it has not been built for MSWin for a long time.

The default setup should provide the broker under this URL:
x2goclient --broker-url=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/x2gobroker/plain/inifile

If you change something in /etc/x2go/apache*.conf make sure to restart  
the Apache webserver.

For SSH broker support you need X2Go Session Broker (package:  
x2gobroker) from our nightly builds(!!!). The upstream version should  
be 0.0.3.0.

PS: may I ask that you switch your mailing list mode from digest to  
non-digest. Replying to digest mailing list summary postings breaks  
the thread view in people's mail clients...
