Oh, ok... Now I understand. You simply can't install the official desktop icons in the Ubuntu session. You must install gnome-session, choose gnome shell session instead of Ubuntu session when logging, and there you can use the extensions.
Of course, you may want to also install dash-to-dock, that gives you the left dock, and kstatusNotifier.
