The way you will be able to use K/M lenses on K10D will be the same as on my ist-D/DS. Either DOF or Green button will close the diaphragm, take the reading and open it again. It is in fact VERY quick and problematic only for particuliar shooting mode.
Concerning AF sensors, it has always been like that, only the center ones work wit manual lenses. Moreover a manual lens (or AF BTW) mounted on the AF converter (1.7X) will only use the center sensor. It has always been like that with Pentax AF bodies sonce they have more than one sensor (MZ-5 and newer). Conerning meterin there's an even beter reason: for reliable matrix metering, the body needs to know the minimum aperture value for the lens. Without electronic contacts (A lenses and all AF ones) the body has no way of knowing this -> CW and spot is the only solution. Hope I helped.
