I think questions about Beamer are better asked at a Beamer mailing
list or a newsgroup like comp.text.tex; many of your questions are not
really XeTeX-specific.

Anyway. The obvious solution (to my mind is):

\documentclass{beamer}
\author{Berteun}\title{Test}
\begin{document}
    \setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=gray}
    \frame[plain]{\titlepage}
    \setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=white}
    \frame{Next frame}
\end{document}

This works here. You did not provide a minimal example however, so it
could be something else is causing problems in your case. Other
questions you asked might also have benefited from such an example.
Look at http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/ how to create one.
