Depends on your window manager.
I use WindowMaker, and have written my own hardwired window menus. I
don't use window menus particularly much, but when I do, I prefer having
the stuff I use most close at hand. WindowMaker allows you to specify a
hook for including other menu specifications, so one of my top-level
menus is the default Debian menus.
The last screenshot on the page below shows how the menu appears:

The associated WMRootMenu line is:
("Debian menus", OPEN_MENU, "/etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook"),
Cheers.
