Wow, information overload. Thanks very much for the detailed response, tlwyse. It looks like I'll have to do some more reading up on this.

I've just started messing with RAW and post processing, but I am running into a bit of a problem. I have four monitors, one CRT and three LCDs. If I edit a photo to look good on one, it looks completely different on the others. I've tried messing with the brightness, gamma, and color settings on the monitors, but I really don't know what I am doing. Like just the other day, I was trying it on my laptop and did about a dozen photos until they looked good, but it later turned out my laptop lcd screen is dim and I boosted the brightness too much on the photos.
Now, I don't expect every monitor to display the same. Mainly what I am asking is for my post processing monitor how should I configure it for the best universal results? I want to use one of my monitors as dedicated for PP, but again I'm not really sure how to set it up.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

This isn't something that should require a major investment of resources, only a simple firmware update. There are times when I would CHOOSE to use the in camera dark frame subtraction, but there are others where speed is a major issue, even if it results in a noisier image. Just a FEW examples where speed is important: Lightning, fireworks, airplanetrails, astronomy.
I still love pentax. I've been shooting film for years and already have a collection of lenses . I've only just recently got into DSLRs.. I currently have a K200d, I would of grabbed a k20d but I find the permanent DFS feature unbearable. My plan was to get used to the k200d and digital processing, then next year grab the K7, but I will likely skip it too now and wait for the k7 successor. If pentax announced a firmware fix, I would most likely go for the K7 as my upgrade.
What do you have against us raising our voices over this? Would you rather we all just jumped ship to canon/nikon and kept quiet? IF pentax was to notice this issue, it seems to best way to do it is to make a fuss over it while the camera is still new and is very likely to get several firmware updates. Do you seriously think it is that difficult to add a menu feature to toggle this option?

Whoa. I'm glad I read this, I was seriously planning on getting the K7 based on the fact that dark frame subtraction could be turned off. If that's not the case, I don't see any reason to upgrade. It doesn't make sense. It would work just as well to manually take a few dark frames after you shoot a series of photos and apply them in post processing! This is incredibly disappointing
