thank you rambo.
I managed to get a gui started on the machine, but i'm stuck on hello world example. and i dont expect to be spoon feed, but I 'm new to this. when I try to run the hello world example I get an error saying for this line:
program = hildon.Program.get_instance()
that no such function exists.

I tried other examples, I seem to be getting errors saying no such function exist in the hildon library.
