Swap going 100 mile an hour virtually freezing PC rsvg-convert

[newcr]

Thanks Rapael

Whenever this problem occurred I was not using graphics (including svg) 
programs.

I did look at removing librsvg2 (I think it is) but there are too many 
dependencies and programs (that I need) would be removed (lots). Also 
tried re-install.

Side note, only real SVG program I need and use is Xara (Not sure if 
Gimp has SVG plugin). I use Gimp the most and Xara for certain things 
with my business.

Still haven't had the opportunity to confirm if rsvg-convert is the 
source of the problem yet.

The other note: Being on dial-up (have signed up for broadband a month 
ago  -  whenever it comes), I have been adding a lot of programs 
(through standard package manager) with lots of partial installs because 
of dial-up drop-outs. Also another potential area I may have caused 
problems is trying to install the DVD workaround (libdvdcss2) by using 
scripts from a couple of sites like

    http://flavor8.com/index.php/2007/05/12/how-to-install-libdvdcss-on-ubuntu-feisty/

I think maybe I have caused the problems through all of this. Got no idea.

    /Just wondering does anyone know of any (prefer Ubuntu easy install)
    *image batch programs *(eg, resize, contrast/bright, border, etc)?
    At the moment I do a lot of repetitive manual processing or reboot
    back to Win 98 to get this done./


I appreciate all this help and feedback.
