This is standard behavior from my experience, even for other tiling window managers (I know i3 did this for instance).
I believe (not an expert in qtile) there would need to be communication between your launcher and qtile to get the desired behavior. Qtile has no control over when a program decides to actually create a GUI window after you've started the executable. Therefore the launcher would have to: 1) document when a program is launched, 2) document what window currently has focus, 3) if said program will spawn a GUI window, 4) Determine when the GUI window has actually been created and get some ID on it that qtile would understand. >From there, it should be easy to get qtile move a window placement. The major headache is step 4. I'm honestly not sure how to do that in a robust way.
