update-alternatives is kind of confusing at first ;)

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager x-window-manager
/usr/bin/kde 9

update-alternatives --remove x-window-manager /usr/bin/kde

You can also specify the location of documentation with the "slave"
link.  But didn't the KDE .debs take care of this?  If your not using
the debs, you really shouldn't put the executables in /usr.  Should use
/usr/local/kde or /opt/kde.
