It is normal that you do not have a .gnomerc by default.

My experience with Debian is, that when you login using GDM .gnomerc is
read. But not when you login using NX. NX will use it when you put the
following in the script to start Gnome:
. ~/.gnomerc

I told you to make a script and to change /etc/nxserver/node.conf. Did
you do that?
