Sorry, my formulation was very ambiguous.
In my new armel image gimp crashes too. It's only armhf where it works fine.

gparted crashes in armhf too and chromium isn't even present in the non-x86 Debian repos anymore (my last attempt to compile it anyway failed due to missing make targets with which I didn't bother any more).
Not sure if that's an option for you but I found midori to be pretty useful in ED. xxxterm might also be worth a try, but I have no idea if that browser has a bright future in Debian (the project was renamed to xombrero ages ago but in Debian is still an outdated xxxterm version).

Thanks, I'll try.

If "fully working" for you means you want gparted then I think I'll have to disappoint you. I don't even know where to begin debugging.
But I intend to release a basic Wheezy/armhf image in the near future (pretty similar to my old Wheezy/armel image - but hopefully with fewer stupid bugs) that others can use to create more "end-user-friendly" images.
It always bothered me that I didn't actually understand the inner workings of qole-based images (all we have so far) and since I'd have to start over from scratch for an armhf transition anyway I thought this might be a good opportunity to dig deeper.

Oh, btw:
A good portion of that dissatifaction was due to (in my eyes) missing or hard-to-find documentation on how to create images from scratch.
So once I have an image up I intend to change that situation by putting all the necessary info into the wiki. Please feel free to needle me until everything is clear! Should I disappear (again), others should be able to continue right where I have stopped.
