If we are going to go to the trouble of writing an additional
frontend, I would recommend WxRuby, which uses the native toolkit. (I
haven't tested on KDE to actually see how "normal" it is). As opposed
to writing a second interface that will only work on one desktop
environment, why not write a second interface for many environments?
