I found this in /usr/include/kde/kwin/client.h 
    uint input :1; // does the window want input in its wm_hints 
    uint store_settings : 1; 
    uint skip_pager : 1; 
    void getWMHints(); 
 
I'm not sure if this is the function your looking for. The only 
config setting for focus I've found is a tab under look and feel | 
Window behavior. The options are all mouse related. Click for focus, 
Focus follows mouse, Focus under mouse, Focus strictly under mouse.
