Actually, bugs aren't supposed to be closed as INCOMPLETE until the
likelyhood of them becoming complete is very small. (Hence the NeedInfo
status.)

And if somebody files a bug report:

 "GTK+ sucks, get it out of here"

I think closing it as "NOTABUG" is fine. But again, if people want
INVALID as well, it certainly can be included.
