You're probably right; but then again, there aren't ANY toolkits that do 
any better than that for cross-platform with OSX. wxwidgets technically 
works on OSX, but it's kind of a pain. I got it to compile once, but 
then I couldn't get python's wxPython to work with it and gave up. (I 
was trying to get the bittorrent wxPython stuff working.)

Any others that exist (Including the local ruby favorite fox) only work 
under X11 anyway.

(I believe QT is actually an exception to this, and they now provide a 
fully native OSX Framework. Are there ruby bindings for QT?)
