The x.y form of an X11 resource takes precedence over the x*y form.
I suspect that on your machines where setting gnuplot*background has 
no effect, it is because there is also an active gnuplot.background
resource that remains in effect.

Right. Nothing in the current gnuplot source looks for such
a resource.  If it is mentioned in the docs, it must date back to
an obsolete version.

Yes.  
We cannot possibly replicate the entire set of X11 documentation
just to explain things that affect gnuplot the same way they affect
all other X11 programs.
