Recently I have been writing some apps using Ruby and the Qt library. The Qt
library is available under the GPL for Linux, Windows and OS X. I much
prefer the Qt library over Tk -- IMHO it is better-looking and has more
useful components.

I develop under Linux, where there is a Qt GUI designer application called
"Qt Designer" (the executable is named "designer"), which is pretty good.

Here are two examples of my recent Ruby/Qt apps:

Here's a link to the Qt download site (scroll down to the section marked "Qt
Open Source Downloads"):

I think this deserves a look.
