Subject: FXRuby: how to open a second window?

<disclaimer>
This is a very, very basic question....
</disclaimer>

I'm using FXRuby (Thanks Lyle for the good work) and my toy application 
creates a mainWindow with a Menu bar. On of this Menu item is in charge 
of opening a second window (not a dialog box or something-box but a real 
second window) and I couldn't find how to do that....

My problem is basically that FXWindow.new expect a FXComposite object as 
its first argument. I thought passing the root window of the running 
application as the first argument to FXWindow.new would do (since 
FXRootWindow inherits from FXComposite) but it fails miserably...

An example of how to open a second plain window in a FOX application 
would be really welcome. I couldn;t find such an example in those 
included with FXRuby.

I already feel stupid just thinking about the obvious answers that you 
will all soon be posted :-/
