both of those are good, but you should also check out shoes:
http://shoesrb.com/  it's a sporty GUI DSL written by _why (and now
maintained by a steve kablank (and i probably mis-spelled his last name))
 the main version can be found on that site, but for a ruby-implementation
using gtk2 as the backend try green shoes:
http://ashbb.github.com/green_shoes/
hex

disclaimer: i'm a demi-committer to green shoes, so i have a bit of a bias
:P
