[Kde-bindings] QtRuby Hello World

[Richard Dale]

Holy Smoke!! I've got my first QtRuby program working:

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w

require 'Qt';

a = Qt::Application.new(ARGV, ref nil);
hello = Qt::PushButton.new("Hello World!", nil)
hello.resize(100, 30)
a.setMainWidget(hello)
hello.show()
a.exec()

Now it can actually do something, it's got to the fun stage.. 

Calling a method in Smoke means nearly everything has to work - marshalling, 
C++ <--> ruby instance managment - so I can't see any major problems with 
finishing it off now.

The original RubyQt bindings left the classnames as 'QWidget' rather than 
'Qt::Widget', so existing code wouldn't be compatible - I don't know if that 
matters. And do ruby programmers prefer to have method names in lower 
case/underscores rather than mixed case (I'd personally prefer to leave the 
names as they are)?
