Looks like /usr/bin/startpekwm doesn't have a shebang nor executable bit set.

Please test if pekwm-0.1.17-9.1.mga7 from core/updates_testing fixes the issue.

This is working and I was able to make a screenshot for the wiki page:

MGA7-64 on Lenovo B50
Logged out from Plasma, logged in again with IceWM, installed pekWM without problems.
Logged out again, I was able to pick pekWM as window manager, logged in with that one. Now updating this bug running pekWM. All seems OK.
I can open mc and dolphin as file manager, view pictures with gwenview.Happy with that. sound works OK

Sorry for the long delay. Validating. Still needs advisory information.
