I opened a file manager, that's why it says "Home".

Frankly, I have no clue. I did some more experiments and I can tell
that awesome is definitely running on the second screen. If I drop
the window into “the black hole” and switch to another tag (on the
dark screen) I cannot grab the window any more. If I press Mod-1 I
can grab the window again.
If there would be a window, xwininfo should list that one instead of
the window I just dropped there.
