If you do not absolutely need those shortcuts and gestures,
then you might want to disable kglobalaccel (click 
System-Administration->Services)
and disable kglobalaccel.

OK, so when you do top,
how much of swap is being utilised?
If only a small amount, then you have to live with it.
It is not impacting you very much.
If a large amount, you may want to look into adding
ram. Ram is cheap nowadays.
