Two comments... first, I haven't tried (or really looked into it), but
on OS X I would recommend using the CoreImage/CoreGraphics frameworks
through RubyCocoa. It works much the same as RMagick, but is faster
and less prone to leaks. That said, the reason I haven't tried is
because I feel like something that requires the full power of RMagick
is probably beyond the scope of Shoes...I don't foresee a Photoshop
clone in Shoes future.
Maybe if you tell us what features of RMagick you're looking to use,
we could recommend alternatives? or consider those as feature requests
for future Shoes versions?

I haven't been able to get the rmagick gem installed on Shoes on
Leopard (it's an older build of Shoes), but I'd recommend just using
backticks instead of RMagick (ie `mogrify bla bla`) to avoid mem
leaks.
