OK, belay that, apparently was because my Mesa install was lacking Wayland 
support (because I had built it against an older Wayland install).

Curiously, most KDE apps are decorated with a WM theme that doesn't look like 
any I have installed, while Firefox gets that titlebar that I configured (and 
that everyone gets in normal X11 operation; breeze).

Finally, trying to start kwin_wayland from a virtual tty gives me a permissions 
error about /dev/drm/card0, even when there is no X11 server running. In itself 
this is correct given the permissions on that device file, but I hesitate to 
change them for fear the X11 will refuse to restart afterwards.
