Description Adam Pribyl 2023-07-31 18:17:46 UTC 
$ echo ${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}
ICEWM
$ xdg-open ~/1.jpg # blocks until image viewer is closed
$ export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE
$ xdg-open ~/1.jpg 
$ # does not block, the terminal can be used further

This applies to all "unknown" DEs/window managers that fall under "generic".
This did not happen on Fedora 36.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
xdg-open blocks on generic "DE".

Expected Results:  
xdg-open should not block on generic too.
