Shell Widgets can only have one child, if you want to have more than one
child in a Shell you need to put another widget layer in the application.


from this:

			       child
	shell -> topForm    -> child
 	      -> other form


to this:

				   	              child
	shell -> composite widgete -> topForm      -> child
 	      			   -> other form
