Hi,
When I export-and-open to odt, org doesn't open the resultant odt, even
though I get a message:
Running xdg-open /home/matt/RLG231/RLG231Syllabus.odt...done
org-open-file works fine on links in an org buffer, and an anser on the
following stackoverflow page suggests the issue is in ox-odt.el:

I'm not sure what 'system does in the changed line -- the documentation
suggests a non-nil argument here will result in the odt file being opened
in a buffer rather than in a browser. Nocolas, others, does this look like
a bug? sorry I don't know more.

With your change it open the odt file as a tar-mode file from Emacs -q.
Without your change it doesn't open it at all. BTW: My Emacs also doesn't
open html exports in Fx files when I use C-c C-e h-o. I never tried to
debug it though...

Yeah, I just got that too -- I realized I hadn't been testing it in the
right environment, shoot. this modification worked for me (also form the
same forum):
(setcdr (assq 'system org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) '(call-process
"xdg-open" nil 0 nil file))
Not sure why this should work when the default fails. Fx opens html
exports for me with C-c C-e h-o -- also not sure why that should work and
odt fail.

Do you have a mailcap which says otherwise? That's what I would suspect
given the doc string for org-file-apps and the default value of
org-file-apps-defaults-gnu on my system.

I have this in my mailcap
application/msword; antiword %s;
application/pdf; evince %s;
application/vnd.lotus-organizer; emacsclient -ca '' %s;
application/zip file-roller %s;
Org does not open my html and odt files. It does open pdf files. This is
using emacs -q. I use Gnome 3.16 and xdg-open works as expected from the
terminal.

There should also be a system-wide setting in /etc/mailcap. On my
Fedora machine, the system-wide settings all look like this:
text/html; /usr/bin/xdg-open %s ; copiousoutput
If yours doesn't, you could override it in ~/.mailcap. If that doesn't
fix things, I'm out of ideas :-|.

Now it get the message
Running /usr/bin/xdg-open /tmp/test.html ...done
But it doesn't actually open the file... The same happens when I mark the
file in dired and says & xdg-open. From the terminal it works fine.
Weird.

You are on Gnome, rt? I think there is a long standing "bug" in
gvfs-open (which is called by xdg-open).
See the following:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-07/msg00279.html
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652262
I came across this a long time ago trying to investigate why xdg-open
didn't work when running asynchronously like your example.

Hope this helps,

I think those bug reports describe the problem precisely. I am also on
gnome and have much the same problem.

2 minutes research suggest that I cannot tell xdg-open to use another
backend other than through environment variables, viz. BROWSER, DE,
DESKTOP_SESSION. Unfortunately, I was not able to make this work by just
setting the DESKTOP_SESSION in either the shell starting Emacs or via
setenv.
So I guess on could use an xdg-open alternative or hardcode programs in
mailcap...

Did you try this:
(setcdr (assq 'system org-file-apps-defaults-gnu ) '(call-process
"xdg-open" nil 0 nil file))
That works for me.

It works for odt, but not html.
