the order is different
the kwin service is different
gnome use templated unit files to resolve this
i.e gnome-session@x11 and gnome-session@wayland
it seems quite clever.
anything depending on kwin probably should probably be changed to require the aliased "window-manager.service"

Current state:
Things work, but aren't technically correct.
startplasmacompositor launches kwin_wayland
that launches startplasma_wayland which requests the session over systemd.
Ideally we want kwin to be a unit still on wayland, but we need everything the environment variables kwin_wayland sets up when it does it's --exit-with-session line....still needs some refactoring and planning.
Some progress:
We now have two targets
plasma-workspace@x11
and plasma-workspace@wayland
these call
plasma-core@x11
and plasma-core@wayland respectively
then we can request plasma-kwin_%i as a dependency
Ideally in systemd mode, startplasmacompostior will start the relevant target and then sit there waiting. Then we'll have it in the units that everything comes After=kwin_wayland.service, and somehow make kwin report that it's ready at the point where it currently does the --exit-with-session line.
