Yea, fair enough - though it's been stable for me for the past two
years or so, I was *frequently* bit by rsvg induced crashes, and for a
long time, always disabled SVG. There were only maybe two SVG icons
back then, though!

I found the correct version of esvg from the SVN commit log, and gave
it a shot. Didn't go well - no modules loaded, and clicking nearly
anything in the config panel crashed. I'll revisit that after that
stuff has had a bit more time.
evas_generic_loader works, though I do the lag you're talking about on
the initial load of icons. Not a major problem for me.
Thanks for the help and explanation,
Ross
