I think, gradient and hatch is _no_ easy hack.

Besides the UI, model and rendering changes, loading and saving is deep
impacted. The table/row/cell background lives currently in the respective
properties as fo:background-color and <style:background-image>. For to save
gradient and hatch, changes in the standard are needed. And gradient and hatch
are not representable in the current binary table template format. And another
aspect is, that there exists at least four different kind of tables: Writer,
Calc, table-shape, and presentation-table-shape.

Currently I would suggest as workaround for the original poster to unzip the
file standard.sop from share/palette. It contains in a subfolder "pictures" all
these predefined pattern images, which then can be reached by the current table
background dialog.
