DESCRIPTION

35       The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified class is a
36       subclass of Shell and, rather than using insert_child to attach the
37       widget to the parent's children list, attaches the shell to the par‐
38       ent's pop-ups list directly.
39
40       A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table already must
41       exist at the time that the translation is invoked, so the translation
42       manager can find the shell by name.  Pop-ups invoked in other ways can
43       be created ``on-the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed.  This
44       delayed creation of the shell is particularly useful when you pop up an
45       unspecified number of pop-ups.  You can look to see if an appropriate
46       unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new
47       shell if needed.
