Henon,

I've added a feature request  
(http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=3425&group_id=300&atid=1226) on this one; I'm going to  
have to think about it. It definitely won't happen in FXRuby 1.4, but  
it is something we can consider doing for FXRuby 1.6 (which is just  
waiting on a final release of FOX 1.6).

All of the confusion surrounding when you need to call create(), and  
when you shouldn't, etc. is probably the biggest problem that new FOX  
and FXRuby users deal with. I understand why Jeroen did things this  
way, but it doesn't change the fact that I've answered more questions  
about create() than I can count! So I'm definitely interested in doing  
something(s) in the FXRuby binding to address the problem.

Thanks,

Lyle
