The class is correct. Unfortunately, one cannot use more than
one display with the current OLIT (sorry!)

From the top-level widget returned by OlInitialize, fetch
the Display pointer and use XtAppCreateShell with the
applicationShellWidgetClass (or any other shell class of
interest, such as transientShell).

These should work just fine (I've used both methods with
success). But you found otherwise, so can you help me
understand what doesn't work? Thanks!
