Bug Description
xdg-open(gvfs-open) doesnot work when I launch it within emacs. For example in eshell this command:
xdg-open ~/1.pdf
shows only evince icon for a second and doesnot open file 1.pdf.
However it works with
setsid xdg-open ~/1.pdf.
The same happens if i try to open file with start-process and xdg-open.
Emacs 25 on the other computer (scientific linux) doesnot have such problem.

See eg https:/
xdg-open can delegate to a variety of different helpers depending on your environment.
If the one it ends up calling returns immediately rather than waiting, Emacs thinks the associated process is done.
