By "fully working" I mean "without things that doesn't work for reasons that we can't pinpoint", like that glib things gparted complains about (remember, it's not about gparted version - so it may be sign of more serious problems with library in question, that can manifest itself in other cases. Although, it haven't done so yet, which buggs me...). Things like chromium or GIMP - which are, (now) clearly bugs in their code/build process, are of lesser importance, as effects are surely limited to those programs.

I think that your work to understand inner working of those images + documenting their creation from scratch is exactly thing that contributes to understanding possible problems, too. Kudos for your work, again
