 Replying to [comment:6 richbhanover]:
 > 1. Would you tell me which WordPress source file performs the header
 image randomizing function?

 This line, right here:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/theme.php#L1299

 > 2. Do you know if the randomizing code has any notion of the "last image
 shown"? (I would like to experiment with letting the next image be
 "current image+random(1,5) modulo number of images" so the next image
 "walks progressively through all images.")

 It does not do this, it is a simple call to array_rand.
