A bryce has a luncher which is where application icons sit. the gadgets available for your shelf are not the same as gadgets available for bryce. If you want the bryce on bottom, you will have to remove your shelf from the bottom and put a bryce there. All the functionality of shelves plus the contents that shelves allow exist with bryce and gadgets.
