There's no such thing as GNOME xterm. The GNOME Terminal application is gnome-terminal, and there's a variety of options for changing the colors as accessed by the Edit > Preferences menu. I have a feeling you've installed some other software that's pulled in standard Unix xterm as a dependency as it's not installed by default.
Under Applications > System Tools, do you have both "Terminal" and "xterm" listed? If so, and you want to use the "fancy modern" GNOME Terminal, then "Terminal" is what you need to select. If you actually want to use xterm, there's no "modern" way to configure it outside of editing resource files or providing command line options.
