The problem with the form is that after you show it, you should enter 
the messageloop, and in case of dialog vruby does that for you (it enter 
the messageloop after the dialog is closed and then returns a value).

I simply added something like this (after form creation)

Thread.new { VRLocalScreen.messageloop }

which createas a messageloop for the form in background, this thread 
dies after the form has been closed.

It worked!

I feel vruby has a great potential, it is too pity it so chaotic and
undocumented. If I could find few more people, I'd be willing to spend
some time creating english documentation, cleaning up the sources, 
applying patches, starting a mailing list, a nice english webpage etc.
