DESCRIPTION
The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified
application name and application class for qualifying
all widget resource specifiers. The application name
and application class are used as the left-most
components in all widget resource names for this
application. 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).
