Passing the icon, name and title through a QVariant is fine, but how to
you want to pass the QWidget pointer?

Sounds good.

In conclusion to that, Mirko mentioned that it would make more sense to
have a separated dialog class for every face type. Is this a common
consensus?

Switching face types at runtime sounds interesting, but the current
implementation didn't support it as well and I can't see any real advantage in
this feature...

Ciao,
