Just a quick update: As I work on redwood (my wxRuby email app), I
continue to learn a lot about wxWindows. I was able to get a multicolumn
listbox working without too much pain. The wxListCtrl API is still
horrible, but with a good example and better docs, it's ok.

I also learned a LOT about how to do widget layout effectively, so I
think the redwood source will be quite valuable as a sample app. I just
need to get it (and wxRuby) released!
