TW freshly zypper up'd to 20150831 and now running 5.12.0 on 32 bit 2.8GHz single core P4. This is hardly the first host this has happened on over the years. Every time I get frustrated trying to figure out what packages provide window decorations so that I can install something to get window decorations back. It seems like in the past it was usually something with string oxygen in package name, but I just went through this again without remembering what fixed it the last time, less than a month ago.
The default "Breeze" window decoration is in breeze5-decorations, which is *required* by plasma5-session, kwin5, and the Plasma5 pattern, so you shouldn't miss it unless you actively break your installation. Are you re-using your $HOME? Another decoration might be set in the user's settings then which is not installed by default. The "Oxygen" (KDE4 style) decoration is in the package oxygen5-decorations, btw. If the window decorations are missing, it might also be because kwin is crashing though.
This time I figured out kdeartwork4-decorations was a/the missing requirement.
Hm? That's for KDE4. Aren't you using the default Plasma5 desktop?
Has whatever is required to produce window decorations been changing over the past few months or years, with old named packages periodically being removed without ensuring via rpm dependency something else takes their place(es)?
No. At least not recently. The last change was with Plasma 5.2, because this was the first version that used the "Breeze" decoration by default. (5.2 didn't even include "Oxygen", because that hadn't been ported to the then new window decoration system, it got re-added in 5.3) And of course this has changed in general with the switch to Plasma5, as the packages are named differently.
