Subject: wxruby and trayicon error and where to learn more about wxruby?

Hi,
I'm working with wxruby since 2 days but next to this Wiki: http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl and this Doc: http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/ I couldn't find something usefull for it. Also del.icio.us has no intresting links. Do you know any good website or book about wxruby?

My problem at the moment is, I wanna test the TaskBarIcon on Gnome and so I did:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

$Verbose=true

require 'rubygems' 
require 'wx'

include Wx

  
class MinimalApp < App
    
    def on_init
        mytask = TaskBarIcon.new
        mytask.set_icon('shutdown.svg','thats my tooltip')
    end
        
end
 

 MinimalApp.new.main_loop

#eof

the doc tells about set_icon:
Boolean set_icon(Icon icon,  String tooltip)
Sets the icon, and optional tooltip text.

shutdown.svg is an Icon and next to it comes a string, so it should be right or? But executed I'm always getting this error:

./task.rb:15:in `set_icon': in method 'SetIcon', argument 2 of type 'wxIcon const &' (TypeError)
        from ./task.rb:15:in `on_init'
        from ./task.rb:21:in `main_loop'
        from ./task.rb:21

Someone knows why this happens?

greets
