We're only using single node mode, but here, terminating sessions from 
root works (or at least, it did last time we needed it).
x2golistsessions_root | awk -F '|' '{ print $2 " " $12 "@" $8 }' # lists 
session-IDs followed by username at clientname
x2goterminate-session $SESSIONID # this terminates the session with the 
named ID when called by root

Never tried suspend, but there's x2gosuspend-session which should work 
the same way.

So, either you missed that or your bug report should contain a few more 
details as to what functionality you need and what is missing, I'd say. ;-)
