I want to do the following:

	XtOpenDisplay(...)

	XtAppCreateShell(...)
	XtGetApplicationResources(...)

	/* change the display->db */
	XtAppCreateShell(...)
	XtGetApplicationResources(...)

	...

I tried doing this:

	XrmDatabase	db;

	db = (XrmDatabase)NULL;
	XrmParseCommand(&db, options, XtNumber(options), name,
	    &argc, argv);
	display->db = db;
	XtAppCreateShell(...)
	XtGetApplicationResources(...)

But I seem to hang later down the road, as I suspect there are pointers
to places inside display->db that get messed up ... am I SOL or is there
a better way to do this?

Background:  I want to be able to open several instances of my application
within one process, but I want each one to be able to take command line
arguments like the initial one, and I want to be able to configure the
windows separately.
