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. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.help/93430 Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
