Heres one way to do it; Click K menu -->Computer, there you have i
icon "Home", right click on it and choose "add to panel". Now you
should have a new icon in your panel, you may have to move it to where
you want it to be on the panel and perhaps choose another icon for it
as mine was a normal folder icon. Do that by right click on it and
choose "Settings for icon".
