DESCRIPTION
     The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified applica-
     tion 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
