Great, thank you very much.

Currently for Gentoo Linux we have GTK/Gnome 3.16 and still ruby-gnome2
-2.2.5 -- and in the last weeks I had many random crashes/segfaults
unfortunately for my application http://www.ssalewski.de/PetEd.html.en

So I did a Google search and found this announcement

https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/6876851#new

Now my feeling is, that that person is not really a Ruby-Gnome core
developer :-(

You may have seen my plain GTK3 bindings for Nim:

So I know that it is a lot of work for you and your team to make the
Ruby-Gnome bindings. 

Would be great if we can avoid the crashes in future. I will contact
Gentoo developers again and ask to put latest ruby-gnome2 in the
package repositories -- they already tried with 3.02 but many test
failed and gtksourceview did not compile at all, see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560520

When you are interested in testing your bindings, you may try my
schematics editor from my homepage. Ruby peted.rb should start with an
empty sheet, and you may draw some lines or other graphic elements.
That tool is indeed a very heavy test for ruby-gnome -- it is not yet
finished and contains bugs caused by me. But currently often it crashes
with something like 
 
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/gobject-introspection/repository.rb:27:
[BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x00000000000018
ruby 2.2.3p173 (2015-08-18 revision 51636) [x86_64-linux]

I think that should not occur, and have no idea how to debug/fix that.

Best wishes
