 * Slideshow widget displays images in order of recent upload. How do I get it to
   select randomly from a number of galleries?
 * Otherwise this plugin has been a lifesaver.
 * Thanks.

 * That would need a fair amount of added/changed code into widgets.php file as 
   current (and the same in NextGEN Gallery 2.0.63) slideshow widget does not have
   random as an option to select.
 * As you know, thumbnail widget has a choice between random or most recent images,
   maybe its code would help make the hack.
 * Both widgets are handled by widgets.php file.
