Just following up my own message with a bit more information.

I went looking for something to use and found this page, which we also link
to in the Librem 5 developer documentation:

  https://docs.plasma-mobile.org/AppDevelopment.html

In particular, the "Using the Kirigami application template" section was
useful for providing a simple app to work with:

  https://docs.plasma-mobile.org/AppDevelopment.html#using-the-kirigami-application-template

The "Local building and testing using the SDK" subsection contains the
commands needed to set up the build environment and build the app:

  https://docs.plasma-mobile.org/AppDevelopment.html#local-building-and-testing-using-the-sdk

I also needed to install the Platform runtime as well as the Sdk runtime:

  flatpak install flathub org.kde.Platform//5.12

I needed to change the version number in the manifest to use 5.12 instead of
5.11 - this fixed a bug with the window size which could be related to what
you see. I have attached the diff for this.

The app runs in the X11 hosted environment on my desktop machine - see the
attached screenshot. It doesn't have any window decorations and runs as a
maximized window. I don't know how the Component and Kirigame.Page elements
are implemented, so I can't say anything about how they get this behavior.

To build this app for the Librem 5 emulator or hardware, you will need to use
the aarch64 runtimes:

  org.kde.Platform/aarch64/5.12
  org.kde.Sdk/aarch64/5.12

I ran into problems with the Flathub service at this point. You might have
more luck!

Regards,

David
