It's a good suggestion, though a little outside the scope of the wxWidgets project. Lit window has conceptually similar to what your talking about for C++. http://www.litwindow.com/lwl/doc/html/comparison_10x.html I don't want this to get into a battle of which GUI toolkit is more virtuous; there are different toolkits because people want different functionality. I'd like to hear from anybody who has tried wxruby and didn't like it, and why they didn't like it.
