First things first, I will definitely add this kind of constructor for 
both FXSegment and FXArc in the next release. But in the meantime, 
here's a workaround you can use in your code (i.e. that doesn't require 
you or your users to patch FXRuby itself). Add this somewhere at the top:

     require 'fox'

     module Fox
       class FXSegment
         alias old_initialize initialize
         def initialize(a, b, c, d)
           old_initialize
           self.x1 = a; self.y1 = b; self.x2 = c; self.y2 = d
         end
       end
     end


and it should do the trick.

Thanks for the suggestion, and hope this helps,
