In the next release, there is the notion of a "shell" widget. Top-level
widgets are just shell widgets in the new scheme,  and there can be
many shell widgets. Other things shells are used for is pop-up menus,
pull-down menus, "modal" dialog boxes (confirmation boxes, error
boxes), and "modeless" dialog boxes otherwise known as independent
top-level windows.

The new spec should be available any day now.
