There are lots of options.

if you are using kde there is a menu tool or an application called SIR (Simple 
Image Resizer) www.kde-apps.org

Gnome has a plugin for the Nautilus file browser www.gnome-apps.org

If your running Gnome on  Ubuntu the Nautilus resize plugin is in the 
repository.

Strange how the Ubuntu repositories are missing all the kde apps that come to 
mind.
