Objects added to QList lose all of their member data

Question

I'm making a QList of a custom class called ControlIcon. I create the ControlIcons, and load them up with member variables, and then add them to the list. Here's the append code:

this->cueList.append(firstOne);

Here's the declaration of the QList:

QList< ControlIcon *> cueList;

If I break right after the append, I can see that the ControlIcon that was just added is full of members, and appears fine. I look in the list, and the ControlIcon that's been appended (and it does append a ControlIcon) has no members at all. I've made a QList of custom objects before, so I'm very confused. Could someone help?
