DESCRIPTION
The XtAppInitialize function calls XtToolkitInitialize followed by
XtCreateApplicationContext, then calls XtOpenDisplay with
display_string NULL and application_name NULL, and finally calls
XtAppCreateShell with application_name NULL, widget_class
applicationShellWidgetClass, and the specified args and num_args and
XtOpenDisplay.
XtAppInitialize and XtVaAppInitialize have been superceded by
XtOpenApplication and XtVaOpenApplication respectively.
