Comment:

 Woot! Below is the new patch. Tested on the nightly and it seems to be
 working like a charm now! After using it, I really like the addition. I
 think it could be useful. It's kinda cool refreshing the page and getting
 random images.

 I went with ```maxdisp``` as the shortcode attribute for the sake of
 keeping it short and sweet. Also added docs to the shortcode listing.

 Usage looks like the below shortcode:

 ```[gallery include="8,7,6,5,4" maxdisp="2" orderby="rand"]```

 Would still like a lead dev to thumbs up this so leaving dev feedback.

 Patch below!
