jorge,

Select the object you want to apply a gradient to. Go to the Properties
panel and click on the Fill category (defaults to solid), from the
Gradient fly out select the gradient you want.
You can then click on the color picker and tweek the gradient colors to
your hearts content.

You will also see some drag handles appear on the object that allow you
to manipulate how the gradient applies to the object.

I'm a relative newbie as well and this always used to get me. If the button in
the panel has a tiny black arrow at the bottom of it, that means the button has
other options attached to it. To get to the other options, click the button and
drag slightly downward. This should pop up a list. If you click the paint
bucket and drag slightly, one of the options that pops up is the gradient tool.
Select it, and the gradient panel should appear at the bottom of the screen. If
you merely click the paint bucket button, you will get the paint bucket tool
(which won't help you.)
