menu.hook is created by the update-menus program from the menu package.
When you installed the wmaker deb, it should have created a file
/etc/menu-methods/wmaker that update-menus uses to create the menu. Run
update-menus as root, and see if it creates the menu.hook properly for
you.
Then, add the single line "menu.hook" _with_ the double quotes to your
GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu file to have it use that generated file.
P.S. Was it really a crash, or did it just abort complaining about the
missing file?
