Nothing went wrong actually. I just had to remove
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu, then the menus generated by
update-menus appeared but this has the downside that now I
can't add my own customizations with hotkeys etc. through the
wmaker configuration tool, wprefs, so I think I'm gonna dump
the Debian menu-system unless somebody has an idea how to
overcome this.
