First thing is to make sure that your "user account" works, by logging in 
locally on the FreeNX server if you haven't already !!

Then

You must ensure that both ends are using the same strings to identify the 
keyboard and language.

The Nomachine nx client strings for keyboards are in ?:\Program Files\NX 
Client for Windows\share\keyboards

On the FreeNX server, if you log in as the user and also as root so you 
can check this out, the 

        user's$HOME/.nx/C-users-session/options 

file will tell you what the client is sending as the keyboard string, 
which must match what the server expects.

I don't like gnome either for this sort of thing. Try KDE and see if it 
works better.
