I need some feedback from users using different desktop environments.
What DEs do you use, Matt, Glyn?
I am on XFCE. For me xdg-open calls the internal function (defined in
the script), open_xfce. Inside that function, exo-open is called. This
is XFCE specific. When I replace exo-open with say, evince, and open a
pdf file; start-process-shell-command works; with exo-open it doesn't.
I can repeat this for html files with Firefox.
I would like to know if other desktop environments has the same issue:
kde-open (KDE) and gvfs-open (Gnome, Mate, etc). So to test, just open
a directory with pdf/odt/html files in dired and run either of them
asynchronously with &.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
