Does Edit->Text Properties->Background Color->Other and then
entering yellow (or another color) works ?

Do you have something like (:background yellow)
in your init file ? It should be (:background "yellow")
Consider launching emacs with emacs -q and try again, to see
if the problem has to do with your config file. 
If not, I guess that the problem has to do with your installation.
