Just out of curiosity, did you look at all at the "QT Ruby" family in 
conjunction with KDE? This is a collection of packages including 
"kommander", "korundum" and "qtruby". They are essentially flavors of 
the QT designer tools and are documented in the Pragmatic Programmers 
book "Rapid GUI Development with QTRuby". The URL is

I am not sure how well these work on Windows; I'm pretty sure QTRuby 
does, but "korundum" is KDE-specific and I'm not sure about "kommander".
