However, I can't run any gui programs... Is there any way I can launch a gui program from this chroot? (this probably requires starting the sapwood/hildondesktop server huh?) or barring that is there a way to access the control panel through the command line?

You can run most stuff from chroot if you mount also /proc and /sys and /tmp with -o bind

Code:

$ root
# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc22
# mount -n -t proc proc /mnt/mmc22/proc
# mount -n -t sysfs sysfs /mnt/mmc22/sys
# mount -n -o bind /mnt/initfs/tmp /mnt/mmc22/tmp
# chroot /mnt/mmc22

And maybe also other stuff, see 'grep mount /etc/init.d/rsS' for inspiration.
