After installing v11.2 with KDE4, I removed the Plasma Desktop Shell from the desktop, by way of experimentation; I do not remember if the context menu said "Remove", "Delete", "Hide" or something else). Now I do not find a way to restore it. That leaves me without the icons that were in it, to say nothing of whatever advantages I might derive from this feature.
If you right-click the desktop and unlock the widgets, then right-click
Right there lies a problem. In the menu that comes up after the MB2, there is no item "Unlock Widgets", although there is one called "Lock Widgets".
again and pick "add widgets", you can add to the desktop whatever widget you like and removed before. I guess the one you are looking for is the folderview which shows all files of a folder that you can define. you can even have more than one folderview or use folderview as "fullscreen desktop background".
Actually, this is now moot; I intend to ditch KDE4 and return to KDE3. Among other reasons, I don't really have the time for another unnecesssary learning curve.
To remove the plasma desktop shell you would have to remove your kdebase package, as it contains everything, including features like panel, desktop background etc. What you did was to remove a widget.
http://help.opensuse.org/kde4/ might also help to get some basic info.
