Hi, 
Are you sure you have no features or are they just it the wrong place?  
Right Click on the layer and select zoom to layer extent.  Check your CRS 
and make sure you have CRS on the fly activated.  Make sure your option 
don't automatically assign the project or default CRS  layer as your layer 
does not have one yet.

        Thanks Nathan, short but good proposition.  You encouraged me to 
finally have a look at that WKT button in the “import cvs” menu.  But… No 
succes. Tried DMS and D,ddd format, but nothing happens. The layer imports, 
arrears in the layer list, property table of that layer looks fine, but no 
features appear on the map. IF you have nothing more interesting to do,  and 
want to give it a try:  Here is a sample of my layer: see anything wrong? Let 
me know. greetings, Joris

This is relatively straightforward in QGIS master: 

- import your CSV file 
- right click the CSV layer, and choose "Save as" 
- change format to "ESRI Shapefile". Choose the correct CRS for your 
coordinates. 
- expand out the "Geometry" group and change "Geometry type" 
from 
"Automatic" to "LineString" 
- click OK, the new LineString shapefile (with all null geometries) 
will be added to the project 
- now, you need to create the geometries. This is done through the 
field calculator. 
- tick "update existing field" 
- change the field to "<geometry>" 
- enter the expression: 
'make_line(make_point("x1","y1"),make_point("x2","y2"))'
 (but replace 
x1, y1, ... with the correct columns names from your original CSV 
file) 
- click OK. Done!
