Subject: GUI Toolkit questions

I am currently designing a map editor for a game that I am writing in
ruby.  I have never written anything along the lines of a map editor and
was hoping that someone here could provide a few suggestions as to which
graphical toolkit would best suit my needs.

I need to be able to display a large grid of 300 tiles, each of which
can have a different picture that can change during execution.  I will
need to be able to treat these tiles as individual buttons or have some
other easy way to keep track of which tile the mouse is currently
over/clicking on.  I will also need to be able to create a tool
window(possibly floating) that will contain all the tools that you can
use to operate on the tile grid.

Cross platform(Windows, Linux, Mac OS X compatibility would be optimal.

Thank you,
Matthew Margolis
