wxWindows is being actively developed, and I'm a little surprised that no
one has put together a Ruby extension for it. It's a fine GUI toolkit,
although with very different design goals and approach than FOX's (e.g. the
"heavyweight" versus "lightweight" approach for implementing the widgets
that you alluded to later in your post).
