Hi,
I am looking at a problem where xdg-open does not work when called
asynchronously from Emacs (from `start-process-shell-command', or
`shell-command' with a trailing &). It works just fine when called
synchronously.
So my question is, what are the differences between how Emacs does the
two? I see the script runs successfully in both cases. I know this
since I turn on tracing and see it exits with status 0 always; just the
appropriate GUI application fails to open.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Cheers,
