           Summary: xdg-open "waits" on LXDE
           Product: Portland
           Version: 1.1.0 rc1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: xdg-utils
        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: urxmurx at arcor.de


I use xdg-open 1.1.0 rc1 on a Linux Mint 10 LXDE system. When running it on
Ubuntu 10.10 (Gnome) before, xdg-open did immediately exit after the specified
file had been opened, but now it waits until the file type's associated program
has been exited. That behaviour is a bit annoying, since I rely on xdg-open
functionality (in particular: its exit code) inside a project and so it makes
my program block on LXDE until the user closes the invoked program. It should
not be a LXDE problem, since calling pcmanfm directly works as expected. It
would be fine if that could be fixed, so that I don't need to implement some
kind of ugly workaround for that. :-)
