I have multiple toplevel shells within a single application created
using XtCreateApplicationShell.  My problem is in indentifying the
resources of these toplevel windows in the .Xdefaults file.  This
means that I can't change the geometry of the toplevel shells using
the .Xdefaults file.  The shells were created using something like

shellA = XtCreateApplicationShell("ShellA", topLevelShellWidgetClass,
                                   NULL, 0);

shellB = XtCreateApplicationShell("ShellB", topLevelShellWidgetClass,
                                   NULL, 0);

and the intention was to be able to specify in the .Xdefaults file
something like:

program*ShellA*geometry:300x521+1+1
program*ShellB*geometry:617x521+113+90
program*ShellA*title: window A
program*ShellB*title: window B

Any help in solving this one will be appreciated.
