Have you looked XUL tutorial?

Of course it does not mention about Ruby at all, but you can
load any components from javascript, which may be implemented in
Ruby.  You can find example of Ruby component and the way to
register it in the unit test code.

I am not familiar with SVG.  I guess your best bet is asking it
in the netscape.public.mozilla.svg newsgroup or its mailing
mirror mozilla-svg@mozilla.org (I have not read it, though).
Once you get your simple SVG app working, translating the code
to Ruby should not be difficult (I hope).
