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.
