  10. The <#2862#><TT>wm-shell</TT><#2862#> class is a subclass of shells which interact with the
  11. window manager.  The accessors defined by the <#2863#><TT>wm-shell</TT><#2863#> class allow
  12. the application programmer to initialize and modify the standard
  13. top-level window properties used to communicate with the window
  14. manager.<A ID="2864"><tex2html_anchor_invisible_mark></A> See [#icccm#<tex2html_cite_mark>#1##<tex2html_cite_mark>#], Section 4.1.2.

  49. The <#2924#><TT>transient-shell</TT><#2924#> class is
  50. a subclass of shells which are <#2925#><B>transients</B><#2925#><A ID="2926"><tex2html_anchor_invisible_mark></A>
  51. for
  52. their owners. The exact meaning of this relationship is defined by the
  53. window manager, but typically a window manager will unmap a <#2927#><TT>transient-shell</TT><#2927#> when its owner becomes unmapped or iconified and will
  54. not allow a <#2928#><TT>transient-shell</TT><#2928#> to be individually iconified.  A window
  55. manager may also display a <#2929#><TT>transient-shell</TT><#2929#> with distinctive
  56. ``decoration.''
