Open terminal.
menu --> terminal (right click on desktop or left click icon in the left lower corner)
In terminal type:
su (press enter)
your root password (press enter)
apt-get update (press enter)
apt-get -f install wmaker (press enter)
y (press enter)
This should start the installation. When it is finished type:
update-default-desktop (or in the control center -> session -> Edit login options)
Select the one that you wish to have default (wmaker I would think) and press ok
When this finishes logout and log back in, you should be at the new desktop.
If you are not at the new desktop we probably need to look into adding wmaker manually to the slim.conf / ~/.xinitrc

I just did this, I used synaptic, and installed wmaker, and wmaker-data
antixcontrolcenter, session, edit login options, set to window-maker, and let it login again, into windowmaker.
It works just fine here?

Here is a

url was:"http://windowmakerandi.blogspot.com/2013/01/automatic-window-maker-menu-generation.html"
linktext was:"recipe"
====================================
. There are other recipes in the comments which allow you to have an automated menu plus a custom menu.
Both the"menu" and menu-xdg" packages should already be installed (on antiX-base and antiX-full systems).

I am not to familiar with Window maker. However The menu in the default-desktops included in antiX are made using a series of custom scripts. I am working on making a new central script that builds these menus with a specified template. I would need to look into Window maker and it's syntax.... but I may be able to make a template and Send you a test version of the script.
Edit:
Sniped by BitJam, his post may be better as I say I am not familiar with Window maker. __{{emoticon}}__
