> Examples (more welcomed):

On Ruby/Tk, 

> 1. An icon widget, that combines  a picture and a textfield
> underneath, with config options to turn either off or size the image,
> make the text editable, etc

Use a TkLabel widget.

> 2. A speedometer-type dial with a configurable range and tick interval

Use (install) Tcl/Tk's VU extension.
Ruby/Tk has a wrapper library for the extension.

> 3. A box that holds a component and paints a customised border around it

Probably, a TkFrame widget is enough to do this.

> 4. A pure-ruby implementation of a wrapbox

Use a TkText widget and TkTextWindow objects.
