Although the package name is kwin-x11, the binary is kwin_x11.

Depending on how you're running kwin your likely to have better results if you 
wait for today's updates (which should include KDE 4 -> Plasma 5 if you're 
doing this in KDE).  If you aren't running it from inside KDE, there should 
also be an updated kwin that sets /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager 
correctly.  Finally, if you stay on KDE4, add a symlink from /usr/bin/kwin_x11 
to /usr/bin/kwin and that should help.  That will be included in the next kwin 
upload, but we're now caught up in the gcc5 transition, so it may be awhile 
before that's uploaded.

If any of those thing help, please close the bug as we've got others that 
cover those cases.
