I posted this as a question to emacs-help. It looks like the behavior is
wrong and thus I post it here.

N.B. there is a solution posted in article:

Hi there,

If I open a .pdf file in dired with evince, Emacs is frozen until that
program exits.

Is there anyway I can't avoid that i.e. I'd like to be able to continue
using the same Emacs session?

Thanks,
