Hal, I haven't tried to run the code but I think I see the problem. 
Remember that whenever you construct new windows (or icons, whatever) 
after the main event loop has started that you also need to call 
create() on those objects to realize them (i.e. bind the Ruby objects 
to actual onscreen windows). I think you probably want to modify your 
show_notes method to look something like this:

   def show_notes(notes,window)
     off = 30   # Magic number! bad coding style
     notes.each_with_index do |note,i|
       box = FXMDIChild.new(window,note,nil,nil,MDI_NORMAL,0,off*i,0,0)
       FXText.new(box)
       box.create # Lyle added this!
       box.show
       box.position(10,off*i+6,100,40)
     end
     window.recalc
   end

Hope this helps,

Lyle
