>A solution (or workaround?) to (the root cause of) this issue has been posted in this group a few weeks back in this discussion:
"netrw#BrowseX fails when invoked from gvim on Ubuntu"
The trick is to use:
:!xdg-open http://www.vim.org &
instead of:
:!xdg-open http://www.vim.org
Note the ampersand at the end of the first command. See the original discussion for more details.
I didn't look into the netrw plugin but I suppose there is a way to configure it so that the gx command launches xdg-open via a background job (the ampersand form).
