num_args Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

DESCRIPTION
The function ensures that the specified class is a subclass of and,
rather than using insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's
children list, attaches the shell to the parent's pop-ups list
directly.
A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table already must
exist at the time that the translation is invoked, so the translation
manager can find the shell by name. Pop-ups invoked in other ways can
be created ``on-the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed. This
delayed creation of the shell is particularly useful when you pop up an
unspecified number of pop-ups. You can look to see if an appropriate
unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new
shell if needed.
