bryce (now gadget bar) is the same as shelf, and my shelf has a clock,
temperature meter, power on/off/suspend button, mixer, a pager for all my
virtual desktops, cpu freq meter... AND a "application launcher" bar. 

stephen is right. it's far more than just for launching apps. its a
panel/bar/whatever thing for a bunch of "desktop control gadgets" that you'd
commonly use to control your desktop environment (or see it's status).
