Yes, there is a 'Wpf.rb' in your \Samples\Tutorial directory (This 
should exist for you if you have a source copy, or the regular 0.6 
release)

This adds a number of helpers to make working with XAML easier.
I haven't looked at it extensively, but I'd say you can probably learn 
what is doing by running the wpf tutorial in that dir, and following the 
source.
Look for the "load" methods associated with xaml to get an idea of what 
helpers are added.

Also, if you are trying to do something simple, and the XAML is actually 
getting in the way, Thibaut Barrère's "magic" looks to be a very nice 
DSL for this:
