All you have to do is follow instructions from README. This is a
relevant excerpt:
When you start mysqlgui for the first time, you'll need to tell it how to
connect to the MySQL server. To do this, click on the ``Options'' button.
Select the ``Server'' tab and fill in the fields that indicate where to
find the server. On Unix, if you have problems with mysqlgui not knowing
the location of the socket file for connections to localhost, enter the
full pathname of the socket file in the ``SQL command on the start-up''
field. On Windows, this field is used if you wish to specify the named pipe
option. Then select the ``Client'' tab and fill in your MySQL user name.
Take care to select the right value for the ``Ask for password'' button,
depending on whether or not you want mysqlgui to prompt you for your
MySQL password. After you have filled in the server and client values,
click on the ``Save'' button. From then on, each time mysqlgui starts up,
it will connect to the MySQL server automatically.
If you have problems locating your socket file on Unix, you can use find
utility, like this:
find / -name `mysql\.sock' -print
On Windows you can use Find utility from the menu to locate named pipe file.
