You're right, those aliases are now obsolete. Will add this to the bug list.

As a side effect of the require_gem statement, Ruby's load path is modified
so that it can "see" FXRuby's library path. So you should be able to require
those auxiliary files (like fox/colors.rb) as before, i.e.

    require_gem 'fxruby'
    require 'fox/colors'

important question that I don't want to get buried...
