Those options are disabled. I also tried running a gnome-terminal on startup instead of launching kde, and even that uses 200k or so every time I type something in it.
Measuring bandwidth usage with netstat -e on client, and router in front of server reported 15000 outbound packets for my brief gnome-terminal session.
I tried using wondershaper on server to limit outbound traffic to 56kb per second and x2go became unusably slow.

Is there any chance it is sending a large sound file as part of startup?
What happens if you disable sound, print, and file redirection? - John
