I've never seen any statistics on this. I suspect that there aren't all 
that many Ruby GUI applications.

I think Shoes is probably the easiest to use.

They are pretty much all derived from C/C++ toolkits except Ruby/Tk, 
which is derived from Perl/Tk, which in turn is derived from Tcl/Tk. I 
think Shoes is probably the most "Rubyish" of the bunch. Certainly 
wxRuby, QtRuby, FXruby and Ruby-GTK are all layered on top of C/C++ 
libraries.
