If you want to stick with a C-based solution, I've recently had good
experiences with QtRuby on linux. Not sure how well that translates to
Windows and Macs, but the toolkit itself is great to work with. If
you're using Wx, don't miss WxSugar, a higher-level API on top of
WxRuby. Also given Shoes a look; it's a little quirky, but a joy to
work with once you get th hang of it. Pretty much any ruby gui stuff I
do these days is in shoes.
