   This is mostly the question.  Are there any alignment problems with this on 
platforms we target?  There are alternative approaches such as:

struct {
QPixmap foo, bar;
} justforadding;

char unused[sizeof(justforadding)*2 - sizeof(QPixmap*)*2];

If there's no alignment issue then we don't need it anyway.
