wxGlade lets you build an interface graphically and then you use that
visually-defined interface to generate the equivalent program
generating the same interface.

So, one general usage is: launch wxGlade, create your application's
layout by installing widgets in the windows/frames/panels, generate
the ruby/python/whatever code, call that code from within your main
program (preferably in another file) which handles the logic of your
application.

The examples given in the wx demo are certainly a very good source to
read inspect and imitate.
