I have a very cheap IR remote bought off ebay and it works perfectly for long exposures in bulb mode with both K-x and K-5 (K-x only has a sensor on the back, K-5 has one front and back).
You just need to ensure you have the menu option 'Remote in Bulb Mode' set to one press open and one press closed to ensure you get the flexibility to use whatever length of exposure you want in buld mode.

I have a very cheap IR remote bought off ebay too... works perfectly for long exposures (3 to 4 mins and beyond) on my K5... one click on, one click off...

As has been said earlier Simon, the option for pressing once to open the shutter and again to close it is a camera function, not an IR remote function. So it should work with the cheap one you bought off ebay.
