It is 1.8.2-preview3, isn't it?
If without patch, combination of this version and Tcl/Tk8.3.x 
has a trouble.
Please see [ruby-talk:119637].

If you can compile 1.8.2-preview3 by yourself, 
I recommend you to compile it with ActiveTcl8.4.7. 
Then, you'll be able to use some Tk extensions on your Ruby/Tk.
You can see the screen shot, when some tkextlib demos are running, 
on my article of "Rubyist Magazine vol.0003"
<http://jp.rubyist.net/magazine/?0003-RubyTkMovement>. 
URL of the screen shot is <http://jp.rubyist.net/magazine/?c=plugin;plugin=attach_download;p=0003-RubyTkMovement;file_name=tkextlibs.png>.

I'm glad to hear that. :-)
