Here are some references:

-- http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=116455623824296&w=2
This seems to be the original 'feature-request' thread, or at least it's 
the earliest I can find.

-- http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-usability&m=116455993305327&w=2
The "original" mock-ups.

-- http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=117538320017047&w=2
The "canonical" proposal out of the usability group (the PDF covers 
quite a few other things, as does the thread, but we did talk about the 
focus highlighting in here).

-- trunk/playground/artwork/plastik-focus
svn "demo" of a 'partially fixed' Plastik (KDE3). I had posted 
screenshots from here at one point, but unfortunately I am not able to 
find them again. Note that this is what I intend to port to KDE4 if 
there are no objections (and of course, it needs to be "finished").
