I recently had the same problem, on Arch Linux with Emacs 27.1. If you run xdg-open from an eshell, the problem should be the same. It should also go away if you replace "xdg-open" with "setsid xdg-open". I ended up doing (push '("\\.pdf\\'" . "evince %s") org-file-apps) to solve it for my case. It would have been preferable to change how the default app is being resolved from "xdg-open" to "setsid xdg-open", but I haven't been able to. Thomas
