Did you turn debugging on in netrw?  As in, vi netrw.vim, :DechoOn, :wq .

Another note posted here suggested putting an "&" at the end of the
xdg-open; however, there are two lines in netrw that use xdg-open and
both have a trailing '&'.  At least that is so with v170c.  If you don't
have v170c, you can get it from:
