Well, from a cursory look, you're adding just one QGraphicsPixmapItem() to 
the scene. While I didn't used any QGraphicsView() before, Qt tend to 
attach great importance to parent child relationship, e.g. add  
QGraphicsPixmapItem()s with the view as parent, then this ought to be 
enough to keep your objects alive.

Good luck,
Pete
