Hello, i have got the same problem.
emacs -q shows the error
emacs -Q doesn't
lets me assume either emacs is doing something worong when getting x

my work around was putting following line to my .emacs file

It's possible that some X resource hidden in my account is setting the
background color. Can someone please tell me where to look for these
resource settings?
