Confirmed, this is an issue on the KWin side and not the framework

KWin decorations KCM: Fix broken AdoptionCommand for KNewStuff

We need CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_LIBEXECDIR, otherwise `lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kwin-applywindowdecoration`
will be the resulting path, which does not contains the cmake install prefix.
Consequently KNS would fail to find it at runtime.
FIXED-IN: 5.24.0

This bug persists on Arch Linux (Plasma 5.24 beta) and neon unstable.
On neon unstable I can't reproduce consistently. Sometimes the window decoration
is applied but GHNS displays the error message seen in the attached screenshot.
Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2023-05-08 16:59:38 UTC 
it's still reproducible, but not consistently.
