what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

The export commands c-c c-e d (org-export-to-pdf-and-open) as well as
c-c c-e h (org-export-to-html-and-open) do not work as expected.
The former does generate a LaTeX and a pdf file as expected, but the pdf
file does not spontaneously open. The latter does generate an html file as
expected,
but the html file does not spontaneously open.
FWIW, under standard LaTeX in emacs, the view pdf function works fine
and as expected.
I suspect this relates to an undocumented setting or (less likely) to a
bug in emacs org-mode.
I am running Fedora 16 (emacs 23) on one machine and Fedora 17 (emacs 24) on
another
machine. Both machines exhibit identical behaviour.
FWIW, I recall these functions working under Ubuntu 10.04 with its
(older) standard emacs with org-mode setup.
