  One approach is to override getStateToCopy (or jellyFor, or getStateToCopyFor, or __getstate__, or several of the above, or all of the above, depending) on your GameState class.  Your implementation can do something like convert the rect to a tuple (or something else easily jellyable).  Similarly, your unjellier can convert the tuple back to a rect.
