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 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).
