Well, I've not tried this, but I'm reasonably certain that you can take the lines you commented out in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color, and put them in your X resource file (traditionally ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults) with settings that you like better. I'm not sure, however, exactly what the set of correct values for these options is, and this sort of thing is not generally well-documented. :-( Still, if you want a better gradient than the default, playing around with this should work.
