The old saying 'if it's blinkin' it's thinkin' comes to mind.
Yes, the lights are supposed to blink green or hold a solid green, depending on which one your talking about. The manuals linked earlier have the specific meanings of each LED, and what the norm is. From the picture you posted everything is working normally, so thats the state you should learn to recognize and love.
As for the program, I believe the default code enables PWM 1 and 2, with 1 mapped to the y axis on joystick port 1 and pwm 2 on joystick port 2. A programmer should be along shortly to correct me though.
The easy way to test that your PWM outputs are functioning correctly is to plug a servo into each enabled output and a joystick into the correct port. The servo should move with the joystick. Make sure that the backup battery is plugged in and charged though.
The dashboard program should also show you the state of each PWM output, along with a bevy of other information. It sounds like you've already played with this. It's a really useful tool thats underutilized, so keep using it.
