I was thinking that such bugs could be closed immediately as INCOMPLETE.

After all if:

 GTK+ crashes all the time!
 aasldkfas;d a;lskdflaskdf'skdfa

is a valid bug report, then 

 aasldkfas;d a;lskdflaskdf'skdfa

Isn't an invalid bug report, it is just an incomplete bug report. But
I suppose I can see your point ... I was just trying to keep the
number of resolutions down to keep things understandable.
