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 compo‐
nents in all widget resource names for this application. XtAppCre‐
ateShell 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).
