Chromium apparently hogging swap

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Micah,

as you will no doubt guess, I run the dev version of Chromium :) Can you
let the guys know what the latest version that is installing with
'standard' update path, along with any thoughts of when[1] will be
available. I assume that adding alex's PPA is no longer needed for standard
updates and that 'work-around' can be removed from the lubuntu-wiki
work-around section. Although I do note an outstanding issue with building
for Raring, but these are for lubuntu-quality mailing list :)

Many thanks to you and Chad for taking this work on!

@Lars, if you don't mind 'living on the edge' the guy who was supplying us
a stable & dev link still seems to be keeping the dev ppa going as Ubuntu
take back over the -stable one and incorporate into standard updates with
no extra PPA's needed :) Give me a ping / poke and I'll be happy to pass
the details on.

Phill.
