Those items are drawn by the window manager. You need to arrange to start one.

Unlike other desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME, we do not supply a window manager. Users can choose any window manager they like. Many LXDE users run openbox. After installing it, make sure /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/config looks like

[Session]
window_manager=openbox

or whatever window manager you have selected.
