DESCRIPTION

41       The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified application name and
42       application class for qualifying all widget resource specifiers.  The
43       application name and application class are used as the left-most compo‐
44       nents in all widget resource names for this application.  XtAppCreate‐
45       Shell should be used to create a new logical application within a pro‐
46       gram or to create a shell on another display.  In the first case, it
47       allows the specification of a new root in the resource hierarchy.  In
48       the second case, it uses the resource database associated with the
49       other display.

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