If I do $ xdg-open ./doc/lispintro/cons-2.pdf after `M-x shell', "Document Viewer" is opened as normal. You don't get any output from xdg-open or anything in the shell buffer?

Yeah, calling xdg-open (and expecting it not to exit) is a known problem, but here it seems that xdg-open doesn't even work from *shell*, which is very odd. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
