DESCRIPTION
The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified
class is a subclass of Shell and, rather than using
insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's children
list, attaches the shell to the parent's pop-ups list
directly.
A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table
already must exist at the time that the translation is
invoked, so the translation manager can find the shell by
name. Pop-ups invoked in other ways can be created ``on-
the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed. This
delayed creation of the shell is particularly useful when
you pop up an unspecified number of pop-ups. You can look
to see if an appropriate unused shell (that is, not cur-
rently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.
