It doesn't look to me like the deps are as you stated:
They are: wolfi@linux-lf90:~> rpm -qp --requires http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/i586/kwin-4.11.21-2.1.... /bin/sh /sbin/ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig kdebase4-runtime >= 4.14.0 kdebase4-workspace-branding = 4.14 kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle >= 4.11.21 ... wolfi@linux-lf90:~> rpm -qp --recommends http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/i586/kdebase4-workspac... kde-gtk-config kdebase4-SuSE kdebase4-workspace-plasma-calendar kwin plasma-addons plasmoid-quickaccess python-kdebase4
The available xsessions are irrelevant. If kde-plasma.desktop were missing, you couldn't log in to KDE at all (it wouldn't even be listed at the login screen).
I haven't seen a greeter on this installation since too long ago to remember. I start in multi-user.target and run startx on most test installations.
I repeat: IMHO you were most likely missing kwin (the KDE4 version) itself.
kdeartworks4-decorations only contains *additional* window decorations, the default one is in kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle which is required by kwin.
Maybe the following can help you figure out, if you care, why before installing kdeartwork4-decorations there were no decorations in host gx151's, or installations mentioned upthread, plasma session: # zypper se -s lasma | grep ^i # grep kwin /var/log/zypp/history | grep 2015 2015-02-08 21:09:44|install|kwin|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|d72ea7c0d4a85c7128303fab1da235f056b05899| 2015-09-11 05:54:21|install|kwin|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|735a578f691617ebe23ef3043ff71a9aa2d6b8de| # grep kdebase4 /var/log/zypp/history | grep 2015 2015-02-08 20:39:18|install|kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream|14.12.1-1.2|i586||OSS|4e09170d94829701fe94857831aac14bf970f725| 2015-02-08 20:42:21|install|kdebase4-wallpaper-default|14.12.0-1.1|noarch||OSS|e2f050c13486be2125f8016e7a9002fd4b191308| 2015-02-08 21:08:48|install|kdebase4-runtime|14.12.1-1.2|i586||OSS|5aed7863e2a28b5e062ed3695d61d3a67f913541| 2015-02-08 21:09:00|install|kdebase4-artwork|14.12.1-1.1|noarch||OSS|8c8727bbcb1995ecac4511e9b6dbf17706df79ba| 2015-02-08 21:09:10|install|kdebase4-nsplugin|14.12.1-1.3|i586||OSS|fe3e6adb25f47ffdde5bae06ba707e607259cd46| 2015-02-08 21:09:11|install|kdebase4-libkonq|14.12.1-1.3|i586||OSS|2a8750f9b4b9b0938d774a62d9eabbbbe44ae4bc| 2015-02-08 21:09:16|install|kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|516502646836f56d5d93f5615b639c2738104ea9| 2015-02-08 21:09:21|install|kdebase4-workspace-libs|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|63a7ab3fd954c2081f946a5755b42d29f54c738f| 2015-02-08 21:09:26|install|kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|55d36dbc64b50cb5976a68c52f768480d5cfe4fd| 2015-02-08 21:09:32|install|kdebase4-workspace-addons|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|52e5e4c388c5e8e5c4db95beb1a7a7e7e4cb984d| 2015-02-08 21:09:34|install|kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|6ec6f8c9e6588306a30bb300d772f299f0091878| 2015-02-08 21:09:58|install|kdebase4-workspace|4.11.15-1.2|i586||OSS|311e96220eb905f008a7b3efd36b0b6b3901a886| 2015-02-08 21:10:04|install|kdebase4-session|4.12-5.1|noarch||OSS|4ca27a0210646d15b8f34801f9d67eb02f2c6725| 2015-02-08 21:10:05|install|kdebase4-openSUSE|13.2-6.62|i586||OSS|d105e7cc379f6f9654be49fb6a60fae55b12b94c| 2015-09-11 05:04:23|install|kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream|15.04.3-1.1|i586||OSS|f27a13a2ba953f7164173f73331f33325bdd6bc2| 2015-09-11 05:09:03|install|kdebase4-wallpaper-default|15.04.3-1.1|noarch||OSS|d0a71fb5f2ac904e7c84e3caa0500bdca82ed8c1| 2015-09-11 05:52:54|install|kdebase4-runtime|15.04.3-1.1|i586||OSS|60b43107432ca16942be6755e05b1a486fbe2829| 2015-09-11 05:53:05|install|kdebase4-artwork|15.04.3-1.1|noarch||OSS|1774728e5cd036d47afcb55382cb0beff0019547| 2015-09-11 05:53:14|install|kdebase4-nsplugin|15.04.3-1.1|i586||OSS|64e3eaf4bc474e2f18831289426529db458efbbe| 2015-09-11 05:53:17|install|kdebase4-libkonq|15.04.3-1.1|i586||OSS|d8a0dd790e2bf334cce12d34927d1463d2d258af| 2015-09-11 05:53:33|install|kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|ad90bb6d29d145a78bbb71cf3e73536b87ec4d38| 2015-09-11 05:53:44|install|kdebase4-workspace-libs|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|83aa22813af50597af9fa984a7f73acaa8353e8e| 2015-09-11 05:53:52|install|kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|94ec6f45b4af490e540df0c3bf9b681415684114| 2015-09-11 05:53:59|install|kdebase4-workspace-addons|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|ebcd6586cff155792c2b25cd97dfa6c27944b9c9| 2015-09-11 05:54:03|install|kdebase4-workspace-liboxygenstyle|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|eae7813042b77b3687fb597e4be8f245b52edbb1| 2015-09-11 05:54:33|install|kdebase4-workspace|4.11.21-2.1|i586||OSS|987c14b74c59827444d19663c223a91fd615aabf| 2015-09-11 05:54:53|install|kdebase4-openSUSE|13.2-6.67|i586||OSS|9865188db053357d12bcf7a1986aa58027038faf|
Of course if you configured a window decoration from kdeartworks4-decorations, you need to have that installed too.
Until Breeze, I rarely changed decorations from defaults. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
