I'm not sure there isn't something a bit ruby-specific in here somewhere 
though. I've been mostly looking at perl and python examples, and none 
of them specify an interface when setting up to receive events. Maybe 
I'm just doing ruby win32ole wrong somehow.

The only C example so far that I've even been able to figure out how 
it's receiving the events is the "talkback" one, which appears to be 
using polling instead of setting up event callbacks. And while that 
could probably be made to work, callbacks seem better.
