echo $DISPLAY yields :1 in these terminals. New terminals started directly in Ubuntu window manager shows $DISPLAY to be :0.
But I also made a mistake. I *can* actually spawn apps like firefox, thunderbird and other applications in Qtile, I must just have messed up earlier. The terminals still show up in the original Ubuntu window manager though, which I don't understand how is even possible. I also forgot to mention that I changed the mod+enter to spawn "x-terminal-emulator" instead of "xterm" since I am not using xterm. So perhaps these terminals are the only culprit. Get this: If from one of the terminals spawned from Qtile (that are now residing in Ubuntu window manager) I start another program like thunderbird, it actually starts in Qtile. What sorcery is this? So to sum up: x-terminal-emulator seems to be the only application that spawns outside of Qtile.
