With libgnome-2.22.0-3.fc9.x86_64, I think gnome-open exits too early which may (and does, see bug 435107) cause problems when it is being used to open temporary files. For example: echo foo > /tmp/test.txt ; gnome-open /tmp/test.txt ; rm /tmp/test.txt This opens an empty /tmp/test.txt file in an editor for me. I would have expected /tmp/test.txt containing "foo" to be opened. Shouldn't gnome-open wait a bit for the target executable to launch before exiting? Or at least have a flag to do that, or even have a flag to stick around until the launched executable exits (or maybe do something like execve() with this flag)?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I'm the new XEmacs package maintainer. This is still a problem for our users. Do you have any suggestions on how we might handle the situation? If gnome-open isn't the right tool for the job, then we need to figure out how to make xdg-open invoke the correct tool.
This problem also appears when viewing email attachments from alpine, using gnome. The viewer program starts, but does not find the file to display, apparently since it already has been removed. Alpine uses mailcap to determine how to open different attachments. My /etc/mailcap specifies xdg-open for almost all types. xdg-open is a shell script, that calls gnome-open under gnome. I have Fedora 10 and libgnome-2.24.1-9.fc10.i386.

The situation is still the same on Fedora 14.
gnome-open is dead for some time, please use gvfs-open or xdg-open. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 571932 ***
