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.  XtApp-
       CreateShell 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).
