Here is the only method that I can think of:

Go up the tree using XtParent() checking each widget to see if it
is a subclass of the shellWidgetClass using XtIsSubclass().  
This should do the trick.

NOTE: You can not check to see if its parent is NULL since popup shells 
      will have valid parents.
