Fidgit is a GUI toolkit built on Gosu/Chingu for Ruby. It uses a system of hierarchical packing containers to hold relatively advanced controls, such as scrolling windows and file dialogs.

Examples of applications using Fidgit

Fidgit is used to build a nice user interface in several of my games: Hoops, Smash and Grab and Wrath.
