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?

I think Emacs should have a PROBLEMS entry about this.
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.
