Strange, I don't see why it should have disappeared from the panel.

The joy of KDE4 plasma....
But you can easily recreate the folder plasmoid. Click the cashew on the 
very top right of your screen (unlock the widgets before if you do not see 
it), and select the first menu entry. Something like 'Add mini-programs'. 
You will get a list of available plasmoids no the bottom of the screen, look 
for the folder plasmoid (I guess it's called like that). Drag it to the 
desktop. It probably already shows your desktop folder. If not, open its 
settings by clicking the monkey wrench symbol on the handle that appears 
when you are over the plasmoid, there you can select the directory. BTW, I 
like to have several of those folder plasmoids, pointing to different 
directories.
