Comment 3 Richard Fearn 2016-11-27 19:44:23 UTC 
As suggested in bug 1346147, this seems to be due to running GNOME on Wayland; if a GNOME on X session is started instead, the icons do appear.
Comment 4 Felix Schwarz 2016-12-08 16:20:42 UTC 
GNOME developers enabled desktop icons on Wayland and this change will appear in the next minor release of 3.22 (and of course all future major releases). 

Therefore I close this bug because resolving the exact issue here (adapting gnome-tweak-tool) would require upstream development and the issue will vanish with the next upstream release anyway.

(Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes by closing this, feel free to reopen.)
