I don't understand this: is it failing or is it working? (Maybe some  
example helps.) With "frame-parameters" you are meaning initial- and  
default-frame-alist?

You can try to launch GNU Emacs with the -q option. This will make it  
not to load your init file. By this means you can at least find  
whether command line settings work.

Finally it's possible that Suse comes with its own set of special  
customisation files. The *Messages* buffer might record when they  
load, you could also search your system (with locate, for example)  
whether it has EL files outside GNU Emacs' installation area. This  
could give you a hint that something interferes with your setup. You  
could also use a trace utility to find out which files GNU Emacs loads  
at startup, which could also reveal the cause for differences you  
notice.

Anyway, a (small, two lines, 20 characters) screen-shot might explain  
what this "additional background for text" is.
