Please view <a href="http://mydesignrevolution.com" style="text-decoration:underline">Design Revolution</a>
It is possible to have a dynamic, rotating header with an exported Artisteer Joomla template.
The process involves saving several header images, the use of JavaScript, and some easy modification to index.php and the template style sheet.
Should anyone be interested in the actual process, and if the admins agree, Perhaps I can post tutorial.

It is possible to have a rotating header image using css and php.
Go here to download the php script: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/randomizer/
In your css file, you would create something like this:
#header {
width: 900px;
height: 206px;
background-image: url('../images/rotate/rotate.php');
background-color: #48b5eb;
margin: 0 auto;
clear: both;
}
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Briefly, I looked at the script, and php is fine if you want this solution--statically.
If you pull up http://firemydesogner.com, note that we're transitioning images on the same page every nine-seconds, randomly. Therefore, you'll not only have dynamic page transitions, but you'll also get a different header, chosen randomly for any page .

I detailed the "second approach".
It requires more editing, but for the adventurous, it follows the first approach.
Just scroll down the page:

Update:
I tried a new app:
http://www.sothink.com/product/javascriptwebscroller/index.htm
Run it from your desktop. You can remove the frame and arrows. In fact, if you edit one .js file, use it beyond the three image limitation of the trial. It has a gazillion transition options.
I have it working at: http://firemydesigner.com/
Be patient; it's a 6-second fade transition.

See the post : http://www.artisteer.com/Default.aspx?post_id=102114&p=forum_post&topicsPage=5&forum_id=20
Add a 'header' module, then download Simple Image Rotator: http://www.joomlaworks.gr/.

Is is possible to make a header image specific to certain pages, but uniform for the rest?

You need to additional page templates and assign them according to your needs.
In order to create a new page template copy all the code from your page.php, create another file(may be named 'new page") paste it in that, Add the following code to top of it:
<?php
/*
Template Name: new page
*/
?>
and this new page template will be available for you to choose on your wordpress create new page.

You can also use the Next Gen wordpress plugin to achieve a dynamic header :)

Yes it totally is you can have it on refresh or on timed rotation all by js (remember for W3C comp you need to have your js files as separate linked to files not embedded in the code...

Ave you looked at your templates in SeaMonkey?
http://myartisteer.com/!black-ops/
cuts off some of your design. This is a problem I am haveing also - and unfortunately, my Client uses SeaMonkey so I can't just ignore it.
Just an FYI

Yes, I did browser shots in multiple clients, and I am aware of the Sea Monkey issue. Thanks.
