I need to build some new types of shells on top of the 
existing shell widgets, (to add callbacks corresponding to
the various WM_PROTOCOLS messages), and I was wondering what 
the proper way to initialize the shell part of my new widget 
class is.  

I think what I want to do is inherit the shell extension 
fields, but I can't find an XtInheritExtension or an 
XtInheritShellExtension defined anywhere.  Are extensions not 
inherited?  Do I declare a copy of the ShellClassExtensionRec 
in my own widget file and then make each field of that 
XtInheritWhatever?  (Are there XtInheritWhatever's defined for 
all of the fields of the extension?)  

Thanks for any help!
