The question should go to the team making the packages, not to the
gnome-shell list I guess. Anyway, you should install the theme
package: gnome-themes or gnome-themes-standard if memory serves well

As far as I know, gnome-shell does not use nautilus (the file manager)
to draw the desktop anymore, so it is a feature. The desktop folder is
thus pretty useless now, you have to open nautilus to see its content.
