You don't need to worry about culling unless you want to look at both sides of the same geometry, ie, if you have a cube representing a montior (ok ok, I know your graphics will be better than this, but bear with it :)) and back face culling is on, if your normals are set correctly the only thing that is culled is the inside of the cube, now unless you actually want to view the inside of your computer monitor this isn't a problem. The only time the back face will get culled is when the normals are pointing away from the viewer. If you really do want to have some geometries double sided, then the cullling is controlled in the PolygonAttributes. How you access this in X3d i haven't got a clue, but thats where it is, search the source, it might help.
