Yeah - like I said in the original question - I tried that, it won't respond.
Genesis is over-ruling it.
I've just done this for a customers website (you can see it here: Grameen Spice), and there is an easier way to do it than faffing around with javascipt and hooks, etc.
1) In the stylesheet find the front page header image properties and set the height to 0 - this hides it from the front page.
2) In the functions & front page php files create a new widget block - put it at the top of the home page widgets obviously.
3) In the home page php file give this new widget a new style instead of "image-section" - I called mine slider-section.
4) Copy the relevant image-section CSS and rename it slider-section - stick it at the bottom of the stylesheet.
5) Fiddle with CSS after you've added a slider to style it how you like.
6) I used the smart slider 3 plugin for my slider - create the slider, then use the slider widget to put it into your new widget area you created in (2) above.
Not the "best" or "proper" way of doing things I suppose since the header image is still there, it's just hidden, but it works.
