<title>Shell Widgets</title>
<para>
Shell widgets hold an application's top-level widgets to allow them to
communicate with the window manager and session manager.
Shells have been designed to be as nearly invisible as possible.
Clients have to create them,
but they should never have to worry about their sizes.
</para>
<para>
If a shell widget is resized from the outside (typically by a window manager),
the shell widget also resizes its managed child widget automatically.
Similarly, if the shell's child widget needs to change size,
it can make a geometry request to the shell,
and the shell negotiates the size change with the outer environment.
Clients should never attempt to change the size of their shells directly.
</para>
<para>The five types of public shells are:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>OverrideShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Used for shell windows that completely bypass the window manager
(for example, pop-up menu shells).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TransientShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>Used for shell windows that have the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_TRANSIENT_FOR</emphasis>
property set. The effect of this property is dependent upon the
window manager being used.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TopLevelShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>Used for normal top-level windows
(for example, any additional top-level widgets an application needs).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>ApplicationShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>Formerly used for the single main top-level window that
the window manager identifies as an application instance and
made obsolete by SessionShell.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SessionShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Used for the single main top-level window that
the window manager identifies as an application instance and
that interacts with the session manager.
</para>
</listitem>

<title>Shell Widget Definitions</title>
<para>
Widgets negotiate their size and position with their parent widget,
that is, the widget that directly contains them.
Widgets at the top of the hierarchy do not have parent widgets.
Instead, they must deal with the outside world.
To provide for this,
each top-level widget is encapsulated in a special widget, called a
shell widget.
</para>
<para>
Shell
widgets, whose class is a subclass of the
Composite class,
encapsulate other widgets and can allow a widget to avoid the
geometry clipping imposed by the parent-child window relationship.
They also can provide a layer of communication with the window manager.
</para>
<para>The eight different types of shells are:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Shell</term>
<listitem>
<para>The base class for shell widgets; provides the
fields needed for all types of shells. Shell
is a direct subclass of
<emphasis role='strong'>compositeWidgetClass</emphasis>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>OverrideShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>A subclass of Shell; used for shell windows that completely
bypass the window manager.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>WMShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>A subclass of Shell; contains fields needed by the
common window manager protocol.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>VendorShell</term>
<listitem>
<para>A subclass of WMShell; contains fields used by
vendor-specific window managers.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TransientShell</term>

property.</para>

The declarations for all Intrinsics-defined shells except
VendorShell appear in
<filename class="headerfile">Shell.h</filename>
and
<filename class="headerfile">ShellP.h</filename>.
VendorShell has separate public and private .h files which are included by
<filename class="headerfile">Shell.h</filename>
and
<filename class="headerfile">ShellP.h</filename>.
</para>
<para>
<filename class="headerfile">Shell.h</filename>
uses incomplete structure definitions to ensure that the
compiler catches attempts to access private data in any of the Shell
instance or class data structures.
</para>

The symbolic constant for the
<function>ShellClassExtension</function>
version identifier is
<function>XtShellExtensionVersion</function>
(see <xref linkend='Class_Extension_Records' />).
</para>
<para>
The root_geometry_manager procedure acts as
the parent geometry manager for geometry requests made by shell
widgets. When a shell widget calls either
<xref linkend='XtMakeGeometryRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
or
<xref linkend='XtMakeResizeRequest' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
the root_geometry_manager procedure is invoked to
negotiate the new geometry with the window manager. If the window
manager permits the new geometry, the root_geometry_manager
procedure should
return
<function>XtGeometryYes</function>;
if the window manager denies the geometry
request or does not change the window geometry within some timeout
interval (equal to <emphasis remap='I'>wm_timeout</emphasis> in the case of WMShells), the
root_geometry_manager procedure should return
<function>XtGeometryNo</function>.
If the window manager makes some alternative geometry change, the
root_geometry_manager procedure may return either
<function>XtGeometryNo</function>
and handle the new geometry as a resize or
<function>XtGeometryAlmost</function>
in anticipation that the shell will accept the compromise. If the
compromise is not accepted, the new size must then be handled as a
resize. Subclasses of
Shell
that wish to provide their own
root_geometry_manager procedures are strongly encouraged to use enveloping to
invoke their superclass's root_geometry_manager procedure under most
situations, as the window manager interaction may be very complex.
</para>
<para>
If no
<function>ShellClassPart</function>
extension record is declared with <emphasis remap='I'>record_type</emphasis>
equal to
<emphasis role='strong'>NULLQUARK</emphasis>,

<function>XtInheritRootGeometryManager</function>
is assumed.

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>geometry</emphasis> field specifies the size and position
and is usually given only on a command line or in a defaults file.
If the <emphasis remap='I'>geometry</emphasis> field is non-NULL when
a widget of class WMShell
is realized, the geometry specification is parsed using
<function>XWMGeometry</function>
with a default geometry
string constructed from the values of <emphasis remap='I'>x</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis>,
<emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>width_inc</emphasis>,
and <emphasis remap='I'>height_inc</emphasis> and the size and position flags in the window manager
size hints are set. If the geometry specifies an x or y position,
then
<function>USPosition</function>
is set. If the geometry specifies a width or height, then
<function>USSize</function>
is set. Any fields in the geometry specification
override the corresponding values in the
Core <emphasis remap='I'>x</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> fields.
If <emphasis remap='I'>geometry</emphasis> is NULL or contains only a partial specification, then the
Core <emphasis remap='I'>x</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>y</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>width</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>height</emphasis> fields are used and
<function>PPosition</function>
and
<function>PSize</function>
are set as appropriate.
The geometry string is not copied by any of the Intrinsics
Shell classes; a client specifying the string in an arglist
or varargs list must ensure
that the value remains valid until the shell widget is realized.
For further information on the geometry string, see
<olink targetdoc='libX11' targetptr='Parsing_the_Window_Geometry' >Parsing the Window Geometry</olink>
in <olink targetdoc='libX11' targetptr='libX11'>Xlib — C Language X Interface</olink>.
</para>
<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>create_popup_child_proc</emphasis> procedure is called by the
<xref linkend='XtPopup' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
procedure and may remain NULL.
The <emphasis remap='I'>grab_kind</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>spring_loaded</emphasis>,
and <emphasis remap='I'>popped_up</emphasis> fields maintain widget
state information as described under
<xref linkend='XtPopup' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
<xref linkend='XtMenuPopup' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
<xref linkend='XtPopdown' xrefstyle='select: title'/>,
and
<xref linkend='XtMenuPopdown' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
The <emphasis remap='I'>allow_shell_resize</emphasis> field controls whether the widget contained
by the shell is allowed to try to resize itself.
If allow_shell_resize is
<function>False</function>,
any geometry requests made by the child will always return
<function>XtGeometryNo</function>
without interacting with the window manager.
Setting <emphasis remap='I'>save_under</emphasis>
<function>True</function>
instructs the server to attempt
to save the contents of windows obscured by the shell when it is mapped
and to restore those contents automatically when the shell is unmapped.
It is useful for pop-up menus.
Setting <emphasis remap='I'>override_redirect</emphasis>
<function>True</function>
determines
whether the window manager can intercede when the shell window
is mapped.
For further information on override_redirect,
see <olink targetdoc='libX11' targetptr='Window_Attributes' >Window Attributes</olink> in
<olink targetdoc='libX11' targetptr='libX11'>Xlib — C Language X Interface</olink>
and
<olink targetdoc='icccm' targetptr='Pop_up_Windows'>Pop-up Windows</olink> and
<olink targetdoc='icccm' targetptr='Redirection_of_Operations'>Redirection of Operations</olink> in the
<olink targetdoc='icccm' targetptr='icccm'>Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual</olink>.
The pop-up and pop-down callbacks are called during
<xref linkend='XtPopup' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
and
<xref linkend='XtPopdown' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
The default value of the <emphasis remap='I'>visual</emphasis> resource is the symbolic value
<function>CopyFromParent</function>.
The Intrinsics do not need to query the parent's visual type when the
default value is used; if a client using
<xref linkend='XtGetValues' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
to examine the visual type receives the value
<function>CopyFromParent</function>,
it must then use
<function>XGetWindowAttributes</function>
if it needs the actual visual type.

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>title</emphasis> and
<emphasis remap='I'>title_encoding</emphasis> fields are stored in the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_NAME</emphasis>
property on the shell's window by the WMShell realize procedure.
If the <emphasis remap='I'>title_encoding</emphasis> field is
<function>None</function>,
the <emphasis remap='I'>title</emphasis> string is assumed to be in the encoding of the current
locale and the encoding of the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_NAME</emphasis>
property is set to
<function>XStdICCTextStyle</function>.
If a language procedure has not been set
the default value of <emphasis remap='I'>title_encoding</emphasis> is
<emphasis role='strong'>XA_STRING</emphasis>, otherwise the default value is
<function>None</function>.
The <emphasis remap='I'>wm_timeout</emphasis> field specifies, in milliseconds,
the amount of time a shell is to wait for
confirmation of a geometry request to the window manager.
If none comes back within that time,
the shell assumes the window manager is not functioning properly
and sets <emphasis remap='I'>wait_for_wm</emphasis> to
<function>False</function>
(later events may reset this value).
When <emphasis remap='I'>wait_for_wm</emphasis> is
<function>False</function>,
the shell does not wait for a response, but relies on asynchronous
notification.
If <emphasis remap='I'>transient</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>,
the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_TRANSIENT_FOR</emphasis>
property
will be stored on the shell window with a value as specified below.
The interpretation of this property is specific to the window manager
under which the application is run; see the
<olink targetdoc='icccm' targetptr='icccm'>Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual</olink>
for more details.
</para>
<para>
The realize and set_values procedures of WMShell store the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_CLIENT_LEADER</emphasis>
property on the shell window.
When <emphasis remap='I'>client_leader</emphasis> is not NULL and the client leader widget is
realized, the property will be created with the value of the window of the
client leader widget.
When <emphasis remap='I'>client_leader</emphasis> is NULL and the shell widget has a NULL parent,
the widget's window is used as the value of the
property.
When <emphasis remap='I'>client_leader</emphasis> is NULL and the shell widget has a non-NULL parent,
a search is made for the closest shell ancestor
with a non-NULL <emphasis remap='I'>client_leader</emphasis>,
and if none is found the shell ancestor with a NULL parent is the result.
If the resulting widget is realized, the property is created
with the value of the widget's window.
</para>
<para>
When the value of <emphasis remap='I'>window_role</emphasis> is not NULL, the
realize and set_values procedures store the
<emphasis role='strong'>WM_WINDOW_ROLE</emphasis>
property on the shell's window with the value of the resource.
</para>
<para>
All other resources specify fields in the window manager hints
and the window manager size hints.
The realize and set_values procedures of
WMShell
set the corresponding flag bits in the
hints if any of the fields contain nondefault values. In addition, if
a flag bit is set that refers to a field with the value
<function>XtUnspecifiedShellInt</function>,
the value of the field is modified as follows:

<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>save_type</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>interact_style</emphasis>, <emphasis remap='I'>shutdown</emphasis>, and <emphasis remap='I'>fast</emphasis>
fields of the token contain the parameters of the
<function>SaveYourself</function>
message.
The possible values of <emphasis remap='I'>save_type</emphasis> are
<function>SmSaveLocal</function>,
<function>SmSaveGlobal</function>,

these indicate the type of information to be saved.
The possible values of <emphasis remap='I'>interact_style</emphasis> are
<function>SmInteractStyleNone</function>,

and
<function>SmInteractStyleAny</function>;
these indicate whether user interaction would be permitted
and, if so, what kind of interaction.
If <emphasis remap='I'>shutdown</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>,
the checkpoint is being performed in preparation for the end of the session.
If <emphasis remap='I'>fast</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>,
the client should perform the checkpoint as quickly as possible.
If <emphasis remap='I'>cancel_shutdown</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>,
a
<function>ShutdownCancelled</function>
message has been received for the current save operation.
(See <xref linkend='Resigning_from_a_Session' />.)
The <emphasis remap='I'>phase</emphasis> is used by manager clients, such as a window manager,
to distinguish between the first and second phase of a save operation.
The <emphasis remap='I'>phase</emphasis> will be either 1 or 2.
The remaining fields in the checkpoint token structure are provided for
the application to communicate with the shell.
</para>
<para>
Upon entry to the first application save callback procedure, the return
fields in the token have the following initial values:
<emphasis remap='I'>interact_dialog_type</emphasis> is

<emphasis remap='I'>request_cancel</emphasis> is
<function>False</function>;
<emphasis remap='I'>request_next_phase</emphasis> is

<function>True</function>.
When a token is returned with any of the four return fields containing
a noninitial value, and when the field is applicable, subsequent tokens
passed to the application during the current save operation
will always contain the noninitial value.
</para>
<para>
The purpose of the token's <emphasis remap='I'>save_success</emphasis> field is to
indicate the outcome of the entire operation to the
session manager and ultimately, to the user.
Returning
<function>False</function>
indicates some portion of the application state
could not be successfully saved. If any token is returned
to the shell with <emphasis remap='I'>save_success</emphasis>
<function>False</function>,
tokens subsequently received
by the application for the current save operation will show
<emphasis remap='I'>save_success</emphasis> as
<function>False</function>.
When the shell sends the final status of the checkpoint to the
session manager, it will indicate failure to save application state
if any token was returned with <emphasis remap='I'>save_success</emphasis>
<function>False</function>.
</para>
<para>
Session participants that manage and save the state of other clients
should structure their save or interact callbacks to
set <emphasis remap='I'>request_next_phase</emphasis> to
<function>True</function>
when phase is 1, which will cause the shell to send the
<function>SaveYourselfPhase2Request</function>
when the first phase is complete. When the
<function>SaveYourselfPhase2</function>
message is received, the shell will invoke the save callbacks a
second time with <emphasis remap='I'>phase</emphasis> equal to 2.
Manager clients should save the state of other clients
when the callbacks are invoked the second time and <emphasis remap='I'>phase</emphasis> equal to 2.

<para>
When the token <emphasis remap='I'>interact_style</emphasis> allows user interaction,
the application may
interact with the user during the checkpoint, but must wait for permission
to interact.
Applications request permission to interact with the user during the
checkpointing operation by registering a procedure on the Session
shell's interact callback list. When all save callback procedures have
returned, and each time a token that was granted by a call to
<xref linkend='XtSessionGetToken' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
is returned, the Session shell examines the interact callback list.
If interaction is permitted and the interact callback list is not empty,
the shell will send an
<function>InteractRequest</function>
to the session manager when an interact request is not already outstanding
for the application.
</para>
<para>
The type of interaction dialog that will be requested is specified by
the <emphasis remap='I'>interact_dialog_type</emphasis> field in the checkpoint token.
The possible values for <emphasis remap='I'>interact_dialog_type</emphasis> are

and
<function>SmDialogNormal</function>.
If a token is returned with <emphasis remap='I'>interact_dialog_type</emphasis> containing
<function>SmDialogError</function>,
the interact request and any subsequent interact requests will be for
an error dialog; otherwise, the request will be for a normal dialog with
the user.

response will reflect these changed values, indicating that
an error condition has occurred during the checkpoint.
</para>
<para>
The <emphasis remap='I'>request_cancel</emphasis> field is a return value for interact callbacks only.
Upon return from a procedure on the save callback list, the value

<title>Interacting with the User during a Checkpoint</title>
<para>
When the session manager grants the application's request for user interaction,
the Session shell receives an
<function>Interact</function>
message.
The procedures registered on the interact callback list are executed,
but not as if executing a typical callback list.
These procedures are individually executed in
sequence, with a checkpoint token functioning as the sequencing mechanism.
Each step in the sequence begins by removing a procedure
from the interact callback list
and executing it with a token passed in the <emphasis remap='I'>call_data</emphasis>.
The interact callback will typically pop up a dialog box and return.
When the user interaction and associated application checkpointing has
completed, the application must return the token by calling
<xref linkend='XtSessionReturnToken' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
Returning the token completes the current step and triggers the next step
in the sequence.
</para>
<para>
During interaction the client may request cancellation of a shutdown.
When a token passed as <emphasis remap='I'>call_data</emphasis> to an interact procedure is returned,
if <emphasis remap='I'>shutdown</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>
and <emphasis remap='I'>cancel_shutdown</emphasis> is
<function>False</function>,
<emphasis remap='I'>request_cancel</emphasis> indicates whether the
application requests that the pending shutdown be cancelled.
If <emphasis remap='I'>request_cancel</emphasis> is
<function>True</function>,
the field will also be
<function>True</function>
in any tokens subsequently granted during the checkpoint operation.
When a token is returned requesting cancellation of
the session shutdown, pending interact procedures will still be
called by the Session shell.
When all interact procedures have been removed from the interact callback
list, executed, and the final interact token returned to the shell, an
<function>InteractDone</function>
message is sent to the session manager, indicating whether
a pending session shutdown is requested to be cancelled.

<title>Responding to a Shutdown Cancellation</title>
<para>
Callbacks registered on the cancel callback list are invoked when the
Session shell processes a
<function>ShutdownCancelled</function>
message from the session manager. This may occur during the
processing of save callbacks, while waiting for interact permission,
during user interaction, or after the save operation is complete and
the application is expecting a

message.
The <emphasis remap='I'>call_data</emphasis> for these callbacks is NULL.

the token <emphasis remap='I'>cancel_shutdown</emphasis> field will be

Receiving notice of a shutdown cancellation does not cancel the
pending execution of save callbacks or interact callbacks.
After the cancel callbacks execute, if <emphasis remap='I'>interact_style</emphasis> is not

and the interact list is not empty,
the procedures on the interact callback list will be executed
and passed a token with <emphasis remap='I'>interact_style</emphasis>

have been returned by corresponding calls to
<xref linkend='XtSessionReturnToken' xrefstyle='select: title'/>.
If the save operation involved user interaction,
the above completion conditions apply, and in addition, all requests for

When the application has finished saving state,
the Session shell will report the result to the session manager by
sending the
