DescriptionXtCreateApplicationShell() creates and returns a shell widget of class
widget_class. The created widget has no parent-it is at the root of a
widget tree and at the top of the resource name hierarchy.
XtCreateApplicationShell() creates the widget by calling XtAppCre‐
ateShell() passing a NULL application_name, the application_class that
was passed to XtInitialize(), the display that was opened by XtInitial‐
ize() and the widget_class, args, and num_args arguments.
UsageXtCreateApplicationShell() has been superseded by XtAppCreateShell(),
which is substantially more flexible. You can continue to use XtCre‐
ateApplicationShell() only if you initialize your application with
XtInitialize(). We recommend that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppCre‐
ateShell(), and the other XtApp*() application context specific func‐
tions.
