Subject: Exasperated with ruby/tk - anybody successfully using it?

General question: Is ruby/tk still being maintained in 1.7/1.8 or is it
dead? There is no documentation that I can find, and almost everything I try
results in a ruby error/bug. For example:

- Attempt to use TkSpinbox result in 'tk_call': invalid command name
`spinbox'

- Attempt to use TkOptionMenubutton results in `__invoke': unknown option
"-kind_of"

- The <MenuSelect> event with TkOptionMenubutton does not work properly

- Attempt to use the -command option with TkOptionMenubutton results in
`__invoke': unknown option "-command"

- I upgraded to  ruby180-9 from http://rubyinstaller.sourceforge.net/, and
after doing so the Tk.mainloop call never even returns!!

Is anybody using ruby/tk successfully?
