When I run xdg-open, here are the processes that get spawned:

/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open linux-3.2.89.tar.xz
    /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/run-mailcap --action=view linux-3.2.89.tar.xz
        /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-archive file=/tmp/filenaxeY1.2.89.tar

Title:
  xdg-open filename.tar.xz mounts tarball in nautilus but doesn't open a
  nautilus window

Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I initially spotted the issue when opening a downloaded source tarball
  from chromium-browser, which uses xdg-open under the covers to open
  downloaded files.

  Steps to reproduce:
   1) wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.11.3.tar.xz
   2) xdg-open linux-4.11.3.tar.xz

  Expected result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus and a nautilus
  window is open to display the contents of the tarball

  Actual result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus, but no window is
  shown, thus leaving the user thinking that nothing happened
