bug#56013: 28.1; "gio open" and "xdg-open" fail silently under eshell

[Jeff Kowalski]

I'm sorry, thanks for checking.  I didn't realize you meant v29.

I'm using GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2022-05-30

Is there something more I can help you with?

Is this with Emacs 28 or 29? In 29, `cat | xdg-open file.txt | cat`
should work as expected (I hope).

If it doesn't, then the solution I had in mind (make `xdg-open` use a
pipe for its IO) probably wouldn't work, leaving us back at square one
for this bug...
