Anyone know what the difference between the old matte focusing screen as shipped with the K10D and the "Matte II" screen that comes with the K20D? Possibly a re-design to address the weakness of the K10D screen with fast lenses?

Well, since the K20D isn't even available yet, it's a little too early to know much about the focusing screen within. It may fit the K10D (or maybe not) and may offer some performance enhancements when used with the K10D (or maybe not). In the end, I suspect the answers only will trickle out after the K20D is finally available for users to experiment with or the screen is released separately.

Granted, but there have folks on this forum who have hands-on experience with the K20D, so I thought I'd ask! Of course, I understand that everything is subject to change prior to actual product release - or even after, for that matter...
