Slightly OT, but you should be able to use most or all of the large number of free and commercial GUI designers for WxWidgets with wxRuby, because they and wxRuby support XRC, a common XML interface description language. See:

http://www.wxcommunity.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=4

AFAIK, VisualWx is the only one that supports ruby programming in the same environment.

I haven't tried these (still using emacs and a pencil), but other users have reported finding them productive.

Bear in mind that wxruby though pretty complete is not quite stable enough for production use.
