The presence and appearance of title bars (except for the text
content) are controlled by the window manager, not by the application
framed in the window.  In the case of the standard Gnome desktop, that
application is "metacity".  So you need to look for how to configure
title bars in metacity, not for title bars of xterm.

I don't know if it's possible to arrange for only a particular
application's windows to omit the title bars.  There's a general theme
tutorial here:
