Description:  GgiShell creates a shell element. A shell element is a more
              or less independent window which can contain any number of
              'ordinary' Ggi elements. It can be made visible or invisible
              (popped up or down) independent from the main window.
              If a shell element is  deleted, all elements contained by it
              will be deleted automatically.
