Package: kde-standard
Version: 5:102
Am experiencing a weird issue in KDE after installing kde-standard package: all apps I tried (e.g. Konsole, Konqueror, Firefox) open and their windows do not have title bars. Thus, there is no (obvious) way to maximize, minimize, move, resize or even close the window.
Tried LXDE and LXQT, both work work as expected, with properly working widows, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks

Marked bug as done.

It does recommend kwin-x11 by depending on kde-plasma-desktop which
depends on plasma-desktop which recommends kwin-x11 (>= 4:5.13) | kwin
I bet you had broken versions or missing packages on your Buster test
system, kwin-x11 has been temporarily not available, and thus has not
been installed. Nothing of this is a bug. It can happen from time to
time in Debian testing.
It is a recommends cause on an application server for remote desktops
you do not necessarily need a window manager. And AFAIK Plasma could
also be used with a different window manager like Openbox.

Now you know.
