The widget born from this snippets (in lib\shoes.rb) - read docs
around for the 'inherited' method.
def Widget.inherited subc
Shoes.class_eval %{
def #{subc.to_s[/(^|::)(\w+)$/, 2].
gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/,'\1_\2').
gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/,'\1_\2').downcase}(*a, &b)
a.unshift #{subc}
widget(*a, &b)
end
}
end

About the ducomentation: you have to retrieve it googling around, the
best 'ref' in this moment is the response _why gives to a post by
Martin DeMello.

Some snippets (of comment)
"The `initialize` part works because every widget is just a canvas anyway.
And the `draw` method is called every time there's a repaint."
"When you inherit from Widget, you get a free lowercased method added
to Shoes for inserting that widget into any "stack" or "flow" (like
HTML divs, basically.)"
"And since the widget itself is a "flow", you can move the whole widget
as a single component. So you can call `move(x, y)` or `show` or
`hide` on the object returned by the `browse` method."
Hope it helps
