Well, it is important that you do the Bishops before the others (which you do, so no problem there), or at least before you do two others. For instance, if you would do the two Knights first, you would have too large a probability that they are on the same color (3/7, in stead of 2/5).

WinBoard can shuffle any variant, the algorithm I use there first places all pairs of color-bound pieces on opposite colors, and then does the rest.
