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 4).
