For the X2Go Session Broker standalone daemon (python-tornado  
implementation) the X2Go Client cmdline is:

x2goclient --broker-url=http://<host>:8080/plain/inifile

For the WSGI implementation of X2Go Session Broker, the URL varies.  
For our default setup [1], use this X2Go Client cmdline:

x2goclient --broker-url=http://<host>/x2gobroker/plain/inifile

If you use the SSH implementation of X2Go Session Broker (available  
with 0.0.3.0, currently as preview in the nightly builds):

x2goclient --broker-url="ssh://<host>/usr/bin/x2gobroker --backend=inifile"

This is not surprising me, as you have not used the correct URLs, so far.

Yes. The authentication system of the X2Go Session Broker uses PAM by  
default. PAM authentication requires root privileges. The X2Go Session  
Broker's Authentication Service runs with root privileges whereas the  
broker itself runs as user x2gobroker.
