By the way is the minimal test case really required?

I'm asking because there are times when i'm say 70% sure that this is a Qt 
bug, but writing a minimal testcase is not always that trivial and/or takes a 
lot of time to reproduce the same conditions with minimal example.
And sometimes I simply don't have time/abilities to write it => so i don't 
file a bug report.

So the question is: how acceptable is to file a report w/o minimal example, 
but with good description? So some person at Nokia tries to reproduce this and 
takes care of writing a testcase.

Please note, that I'm not arguing against submitting bugs with minimal pure-qt 
testcases, in fact i think this is a way to go in most situations.
But sometimes that's not possible, so I'm asking if it's acceptable to submit 
Qt bugs without C++ testcases (like bug reports for KDE) or will these bugs be 
rejected?

Cheers,
Dmitry.
