Title:
  LyX Doesn't Terminate xdg-open (Remains Zombie)

Status in lyx package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When viewing the output of a file in LyX (e.g. View PDF) lyx opens
  xdg-open which in turn opens the default viewer (e.g. evince).
  However, xdg-open isn't terminated properly, and remains zombie.

  After asking in the lyx-devel mailing list, I understood that the xdg-
  open functionaility is provided by an Ubuntu patch (and is missing in
  the vanilla lyx).

  After a while those zombie process can accumulate as it seems nobody
  ever reads their return value and terminates them.

  Reported on Ubuntu 12.04 with LyX 2.0.2
