Subject: [ruby-talk:20947] Is Ruby/Tk being maintained?

I there an active maintainer of Ruby/Tk?  I have posted a couple of problems 
that look like bugs in tk.rb. (Or Tk itself)., But have heard back nothing.  
Here is another.  I have an app that uses a Courier 12 font, straight from a 
Tk demo.  It loads and runs fine when invoked without debug.  However, when 
the same program in invoked with debug I get the following:

$ ruby -rdebug tableEditor2.rb
Debug.rb
Emacs support available.
 
tableEditor2.rb:1:module TableEditor
(rdb:1) b point
Set breakpoint 1 at tableEditor2.rb:point
(rdb:1) c
