Well on the AF-540FGZ it's configured on the switch labeled "Sync.", immediately to the left of the main power switch, and it's the second click to the right of leading curtain sync (wireless mode is set on the main power switch, the intermediate click between Off and On). I have verified that that works fine when the 540 is mounted on-camera. And TCS works using the built-in flash too.

But if I move the flash off-camera and try to go wireless, phxxxt! No trailing curtain. I've tried it with both the built-in flash as controller, and another 540FGZ as controller.

The K20D manual even states on page 148 (bottom) that if TCS is set on the remote flash, the internal flash will adopt that mode too. But not for me. Very annoying.

I'm beginning to wonder if the recent firmware upgrade broke wireless trailing curtain. Sadly I can't test that, and I never tried WTCS before the upgrade.

silly question, but did you make sure the flash and camera were on the same channel?

Not so silly. :-) But yeah, they were; all set to channel 1. The remote flash was in fact firing, just not on the trailing curtain.
