For every class that defines an "operator QVariant()" I have added a ctor that 
takes a single "const QVariant &" argument that is implemented using 
qVariantValue(). So all you need to do is to pass the QVariant instance to 
the QPixmap ctor.

I've finished the port of puzzle and it's in the current snapshot.
