Great job.
I applied your patch to both Ruby-GNOME and Ruby-GNOME2.

We have written API documents for Ruby-GNOME2 on the RWiki.
http://rwiki.jin.gr.jp/cgi-bin/rw-cgi.rb?cmd=view;name=Ruby-GNOME2

If you write API documents for Ruby/Libart(2), 
I recommand you to use there(anyone can write on the RWiki).

In Ruby-1.7.x or later, it is obsolete to override Class.new.
it is recommanded to override Class.alocate, Object#initialize instead.

This was whole Ruby-GNOME issue.
We changed the behaviors on Ruby-GNOME2.
Though Ruby/Libart has not follow this changes yet.
#You can see them in ruby-gnome2/glib/src/rbgobj_boxed.c, rbgobj_object.c.

BTW,
Do you interested in Ruby-GNOME2?
Ruby-GNOME is obsolete. I recommand you to use/develop Ruby-GNOME2 instead.

Thanks.
Masao.
