       XtAppCreateShell should be used to create a new logical
       application within a program or to create a shell on another
       display.  In the first case, it allows the specification of
       a new root in the resource hierarchy.  In the second case,
       it uses the resource database associated with the other
       display.

       Note that the widget returned by XtAppCreateShell has the
       WM_COMMAND property set for session managers (see Chapter
       4).
