Where have they hidden it?

On debian Buster - the RPi OS version. Not sure of the wm yet. It's probably one of the less bulky ones. But it's not a barebones one either. Cinnamon?

There's a menu bar on the top, with some embedded icons, which you click once to start. I want to add/delete/modify them.

Can you restate the question?

Maybe some output for things like:

$ lsb_release
$ cat /proc/version
$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

And some more information about exactly what you cannot find.

LXDE, if memory serves me right, not sure which panel they use, off hand.

Yes, it's LXDE running on Openbox, (not sure which panel yet).

From their blog.

A final thing I should mention – by default, there are now no icons on the desktop other than the wastebasket. I strongly believe that it is up to the user to customise their own desktop – put the stuff on there that you actually use often, not the stuff that we think you might use, otherwise it just gets cluttered with stuff you don’t need. It’s easy to add a desktop icon for a program you use a lot – just right-click its menu entry and choose “Add to desktop”.

Maybe that will be enough to allow you to do what you want.

Lightdm? Can't echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP because it's an Arm based RazPi and I'm answering on X86_64. The default display manager is /usr/sbin/lightdm if that helps.

Menubar, on the top, with embedded icons, which are not to be found in ~/Desktop/. There's a menu, Chrome, & a file Manager. I'd like to add a few icons to the toolbar, and change one or two. Where are they hidden?

Do you have a menu for: "System->Preferences->Personal->Preferred Applications"?
If so, does that cover things you'd like to configure?
