Another example where peaking does not work is taking picture of a painting; nothing will glow accept the hard edges on the picture frame.

That's not always the case. With the E-M10, if the camera detects contrast, it will show the seam of flat objects where the contrast changes. I experimented with focus peaking by pointing at my TV screen and it worked with objects displayed on the screen. As I recall, there were graphics with boxes on the screen and the peaking highlighted the edges of the boxes and graphics.
