Also, I am no expert in this area, so forgive me. Here is what I am seeing. The behavior with `call-process` vs `start-process` is the same as the behavior with `shell-command` vs `async-shell-command`, so I'll use the latter to demonstrate. evince is my default pdf program, and "xdg-open test.pdf" is fine in a shell outside of emacs. 1. If I do `M-! xdg-open test.pdf`, test.pdf opens fine and remains open. 2. If I do `M-& xdg-open test.pdf`, I get a message that "xdg-open test.pdf" finished with no program opening. 3. If I do `M-& xdg-open test.pdf && sleep 3`, the pdf opens for 3 seconds and closes. So clearly emacs is killing evince when the command exits. This is logical if it's killing a whole process tree and evince is a subprocess, but it does not seem consistent with how `xdg-open` works in a shell. Running `xdg-open test.pdf` in a shell does not make evince a subprocess of the shell so killing the shell does not kill evince. Furthermore what's confusing to me is that the start-process version seems to work fine for others, given the way crux-open-with is defined in the crux package, which is on github.
