Indeed, that would make sense. However, this code is from os_unix.C. It
makes no sense at all for a unix shell, does it?
os_unix.C is also is used by Mac / Darwin. MacOS has this weird library
named LaunchServices which is currently needed to start LyX.
Send me a patch if you want me to test some code.
