Mikkel,

http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~leon/ruby/gutopia/paragui.html 

this was originally one of the primary target plaforms for GUtopIa until i 
rethought and decided to split the project into two parts. 1) high level 
interface definition language, for which any one can make a binding too, 
whether it be GTK, FLTK, FOX, ParaGUI, etc. And 2) a lower level pure Ruby 
GUI, which will build off Wise as a starting point, but using a 
cross-platform backend toolkit (i.e. GGI).

note: the state of 3D GUI is still in early stages. that's the only reason why 
i did not go strictly with ParaGUI. but ParaGUI looks to be the best one so 
far.

you can thank Leon Torres for the binding by the way.
