It's quite a bit older than six months, but korundum is the name of the 
kde-ruby bindings, I believe.  If you use gentoo, it's in the portage 
tree.

I don't think you need to write a kde app to do this.  Just writing 
your script and putting it on the desktop will let you click it to 
execute it.
