I see.
I don't have an obvious good solution.
I don't really want to reintroduce kwin-x11 as a hard dependency.
We could ship the desktop file in a separate plasma-workspace-x11 package, have plasma-workspace recommend it and it depend on kwin-x11, but that seems a bit overkill for shipping a single file.
