"The K10D is as noisy as my DS at the next higher ISO setting." -----
Right. ----- "In 'B' mode, the K10D switches off after some 30 seconds of exposure." ----- Ralf, the switching off is a known fault, widely reported at dpreview. Perhaps it can be fixed in a firmware revision (I refuse to call making the camera functional an "upgrade"). Some people have suggested starting with freshly charged batteries, but I don't know if this works better.
