D15011: [Kickoff] Make the search field always look like a search field

[Nathaniel Graham]

  To address the design and aesthetic angle, I see this as the natural next step in refining what "minimalism" means to KDE, which is a microcosm of a larger trend throughout the design world vis-a-vis minimalism:
  
  1. People go crazy with decorations, frames, lines, colors, highlights, etc
  2. There's a natural backlash against this excessive ornamentation
  3. All of those things are removed in the name of minimalism
  4. This goes too far and destroys the boundaries between dissimilar elements, creating an uncomfortably cold, stark, undifferentiated appearance
  5. A process of refinement takes place where differentiating elements are re-added where appropriate, while preserving the overall minimalistic aesthetic
  
  This patch is in step 5. :)
