# Keep in mind that this is based on a 10 minute look at Ruby/GTK.

# It seems like Ruby/GTK ends up sending something like
# 'caller.event(widget)', where GTK-- would send 'widget.event'. So in
# Ruby/GTK I would have to catch the event, and then figure out who it

And how hard would this be relative to creating Ruby/wxWindows? 

And anyone have any idea of the relative OO merits Ruby/GTK-- versus 
Ruby/wxWindows?
