i have a few thinks that i does not like with ruby-gnome and because of
that i do a fork:

  1. it needs ALL stuff build together, my gems are partable
  2. the dokumentation … or i mean the less of one
  3. the syntax style is not realy ruby like … i mean you have get and
    set properties but why not use the method_missing hook for that so
    obj.prop=value works also?
  4. your coding inside is a little bit ugly … do you know thats its
    possible to use c++ code inside a ruby gem?

this is only constuctive critic … if i had enouth time i would help
you
