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.

The missing icons aren't invisible, it's like they're not in the folder. Clicking on the empty space where they should be does nothing. Mousing over the empty space does nothing. See attached screenshot. As you can see, there are many missing. Not consistently reproducible, but frequent. This isn't great info, I know. Let me know what else I can provide.
