I’ve recently switched my Gallery to use the excellent Zen Photo web gallery. This is simpler than Coppermine, but retains enough of smart navigation to be very usable. The presentation is very slick too, with lots of interchangeable themes to choose from.
Zen Photo (sample theme)
In making the change, that meant I also had to create a new WordPress widget to replicate the existing Coppermine widget, and display a random image from Zen Photo in the sidebar.
To get hold of the Zen Photo WordPress widget, and to get updates, go to my widgets page.

Hi!
Thanks for your hard work for this widget. I can’t activate it though. I uploaded it to plugins folder, but it won’t activate.

Zenphoto widget won’t activate. I’m running WordPress 2.5.1 and i uploaded widget to plugins folder but it won’t work because of this activating problem.

To make life easy, this Zenphoto widget uses some configuration data collected by the ZenphotoPress plugin.

Have you added this plugin as well as the widget?

Plugin looks great on your side but the download is not a zip file, just a php file (zenphoto.php). I uploaded it anyway but on trying to activate it I got a “fatal error” message and it wouldn’t activate. (I do have zenphotopress installed).
Any ideas?
