We still need to get rid of the white elephant which is standing in the middle 
of the room. yes, you know the one.. the one which beats the 800lb ugly 
gorilla, the slow side of ruby. I think this is a need before any type of 
applet interface is made, and even so, one will need to create or use some 
type of custom toolkit which can be added with a nice API. A Tk based 
solution would be good since it works everywhere.
