Debian configures most menus for you.
WindowMaker, my preference. Gratuitous screenshots at
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Images/Desktop/ It's running very happily
on my PPro 180MHz/256MB system (at 96MB until November 2000).
Other good middlin' options include BlackBox, SawFish (formerly
SawMill). Purists often tend toward fvwm2.
There's a good overview of window managers at the Window Managers for X
