Without seeing the full code I can't comment on what the problem might be. However I quickly wrote a small test app which essentially does whatever you've mentioned. It works fine on my Ubuntu setup with both Qt5 (5.2.0) and Qt4 (4.8.6).
Have a look at the code and see if there's anything different.
