Isn't the fringe just a wide and colourful vertical border at both 
sides of the buffer that contains line continuation marks?

Have you tried to set X defaults this way?

Emacs*background:    LightSteelBlue
Emacs*foreground:    DarkGreen

Could you check with strings what GNU Emacs expects as X ressources?

strings /usr/bin/emacs-21.3.50 | egrep '(back|fore)ground'

I too made GTK Emacsen under Red Hat Linux and Mac OS X and had no 
problems with X resoources.
