Well it turns out I didn't test all of the applications using x2go, only the one that didn't work (Firewall). All of the others seem to work fine. Perhaps I will suggest x2go, but I am still quite aggravated I can't figure out the xrdp problem :P

It probably relates somehow to not having an x11-display or device in your ck-list-sessions. And you might be able to bypass it with something under /etc/polkit-1/ that lets all users or those in a group run the commands without a password prompt. But there is always brute force... su to root in a terminal window and type the command instead of picking it from the menu.
