There's no colours. Just a simple text screen.

That's ok.

There's no need to setup dund to run gnokii unless you want to use your
phone as a modem.

here's a simple gnokiirc:

[global]
port = _bluetooth_address_of_your_phone_
rfcomm_channel = 14
model = series60
connection = bluetooth

You have to set the rfcomm_channel to the same value as you specified
in gnapplet.ini (this file is on your phone, you can use p3nfs to
access it), its value is 14 or 13.

If it still doesn't work, please enable debugging:

[logging]
debug = on
