No output showing up in output window

I recently installed Qt Creator 2.5 on my Debian box and created a simple console project to test it. The program it generated was modified to become:

#include <iostream>
//#include <QCoreApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char junk;
    //QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    std::cout << "Hello there\n";
    std::cin >>junk;

    return 0;//a.exec();
}

(all the things commented out are simply what the creator gave me, I've removed them to simplify it as much as possible).

Now, when I run the built executable from the command line, it works fine, outputting the hello message and then waiting for me to enter a character, after which it exits.

However, within Qt Creator itself, running with CTRL-R or debugging with F5 results in a blank window appearing and the only thing I can do is CTRL-C to break out of it:

enter image description here

(ignore that breakpoint on line 8, removing it has no effect on the behaviour).

The project file is as follows:

QT       += core
QT       -= gui
TARGET = xyzzy
CONFIG   += console
CONFIG   -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp

What could be causing this behaviour?

My understanding was that the I in IDE stood for "integrated" so I don't really want to have to go and debug my code with gdb on the command line :-)

I'm pretty certain it's not a flushing issue since, if I actually enter a character, nothing happens.

If I haven't provided enough info for the Qt Creator gurus out there, please let me know and I'll add it to the question.

Try to change the terminal value from x-terminal-emulator -e to xterm -e in Tools / Options... / Environment / General / Terminal:.
