That's very strange. Maybe debian-devel might have given you
more responces, but I would have thought debian-user would be able
to answer this one.

The thing is to get a /etc/menu-methods/fvwm file. You can find an
example in /usr/doc/menu/examples/fvwm, or, if you use the "new"
menu version (1.3 or higher, I believe), you can try the one I've
included at the end of this message.
Oh, and due to some strangeness in fvwm, you also need to do
cp /usr/doc/menu/examples/system.fvwmrc /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc
(I think the system.fvwmrc file in the examples dir is uptodate enough)
> If not, which managers are supported?
All window managers, except gwm are supported (that's quite a few
window managers that are supported). I should file a bug against fvwm
some day, as it seems to be one of the last window managers that
still don't come with menu by default (or optional).
