Hi.
gnome-open does nothing when run as asynchronous "shell-command".
M-! gnome-open /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/translucent/tentacles.svg &
it just ends without error but also without opening the file. It however works
when doing the
same without the & but then emacs blocks and waits for gnome-open (or rather
the program it
called) to end. The same applies to dired's dired-do-shell-command (bound to !
in a dired buffer)
where this problem is also much more annoying. I'm not sure if its an emacs
bug or gnome-open bug
but so far i only had problems with it in emacs thats why i write to this
mailinglist first.
Would be nice to hear about a fix or workaround.
Regards,
Stephan
