Excuse my hijacking the thread, but maybe my narrowing the field a bit
can be of use to others as well. I currently developing a commandline
app that I might want to wrap in a nice GUI in the future. I an Ubuntu
user, so GTK/GNOME is my primary platform; running the app under Windows
would be a nice addition, but not the ultimate goal. I saw GIMP under
Windows and it surely doesn look pretty/native, but is usable (i.e.,
doesn burn my eyes out with how the GTK controls look).

Is my current vision that Ruby-GNOME2 would be a better choice in my
case the right one? (More stable, more documentation, more controls,
the possibility to develop in Glade.)

Is running a Ruby-GNOME2 app under Windows a lot
of hassle, compared to WxSugar + rubyscript2exe?

Thanks a lot for your answers!
