- application_name
- Specifies the name of the application instance.
- application_class
- Specifies the class name of this application, which usually is the generic
name for all instances of this application.
- widget_class
- Specifies the widget class that the application top-level widget should
be.
- display
- Specifies the display from which to get the resources.

- Specifies the argument list from which to get the resources.

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).
