Could someone explain to me the difference between XtAppCreateShell()
and using XtCreateWidget() with a class of topLevelShellWidget? My
program creates multiple independent windows, but they are all
functionally identical at the top level (the insides can vary, e.g.
displaying several nodes from a hypertext). I've read the man pages on
XtAppCreateShell(), but they aren't clear on what an "application
shell" is. Thanks.
