I have had success with Ruby/Gtk/ruby-gnome2 on a Mac, OS X 10.4 and Windows.

There is a one-click installer for windows:
   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53614

On the mac I used darwinports to install everything.  There was a small
problem building it (I had to move the existing readline lib out of the way),
but other that that it was pretty simple.

I am able to move applications/scripts between Windows and Mac, and everything 
works well
