coder/desktop: KDE Plasma instead of XFCE
Add image/Dockerfile (published as git.nic-oconnor.com/public/coder-desktop-kde:noble): enterprise-desktop noble plus KDE Plasma and KasmVNC 1.5.0, baked in so starts skip apt. It carries three fixes found testing in the cluster: - kwin-x11 installed explicitly (only a Recommends; without it Plasma runs with no window manager), - startkde -> startplasma-x11 symlink, since KasmVNC's -select-de kde checks for startkde and Plasma 5.20+ renamed it, - KWin compositing off by default (no GPU; it only adds VNC lag). The template now uses that image with desktop_environment = "kde" and pulls Always, and drops the XFCE .xsessionrc seeding. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
