I am following the basic tutorials, and I find myself okay with them.

I am trying to add a MessageDialog when a user clicks on a button.

However, I have no idea how to use one despite using the API reference  
on  
it.

If possible, can someone tell me a simple way of implementing it, and  
how to  
use the API correctly.

Thanks.

How about a sample in ruby-gnome2-0.x.x/gtk/sample/gtk-demo/dialog.rb ?
