I found it. If libfile-mimeinfo-perl package is installed and there's no
desktop environment command xdg-open uses mimeopen to open files. One of
my machines had libfile-mimeinfo-perl installed and the other machine
hadn't. That's why there was different behavior. With
libfile-mimeinfo-perl installed command "mimeopen -d file.pdf" can be
used to set default file type and program associations.
