For the record, this does not block on Fedora 20. Really xdg-open should return as soon as it is clear that the viewer started (or, possibly, failed to start). The exit code indicates success or failure, and it would be pointless to only report success after you close the viewer manually. You evince / xdg-mime settings are buggy and you should file a bug in your linux distro.
