If you want an overview over all sessions on the server, then run:

x2golistsessions_root

(as the name indicates, this requires a root account)

Are you seeing the suspended session as well as the running one in the
session list?

Yes, is the problem also present when you try to use the broker via SSH
instead of HTTP?

Did you run x2gobroker-keygen on the broker server?

Did you invoke x2go-pubkeyauthorizer with the proper parameters on all
required machines?  If so, you should have the same authorized_keys file
in /var/lib/x2gobroker/.ssh/ on the three servers as well as on the broker.

Have you added the users via
x2godbadmin --adduser USERNAME_GOES_HERE
