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).
