Makes the Falkon desktop browser launch deterministic in Xvfb/noVNC.

Context:

Falkon renders correctly, but without explicit sizing it can restore a shallow window, leaving little usable page area.
Live test with --no-remote --new-window --profile molecule-desktop plus xdotool resize/activate rendered Example Domain in the display screenshot.

Changes:

launch Falkon with a stable profile/new-window mode and XDG runtime dir
resize/activate Falkon to 1280x900 after spawn using xdotool with no URL shell interpolation
bump runtime patch version to 0.3.4

Verification:

live workspace render test captured visible Example Domain after the deterministic launch sequence
PYTHONPATH=$PWD pytest tests/test_desktop_tools.py -q -> 7 passed
PYTHONPATH=$PWD pytest -q -> 368 passed

Reviewed five-axis pass for PR #68: correctness OK (Falkon launch uses argv/env, deterministic xdotool sizing matches live Xvfb proof); readability/architecture OK (narrow desktop tool change); security OK (URL remains argv, no shell); performance OK (one bounded xdotool call); tests OK (desktop tool coverage plus local full suite). Gitea CI is stuck Waiting with no task rows, so approving based on local verification: PYTHONPATH=$PWD pytest tests/test_desktop_tools.py -q and PYTHONPATH=$PWD pytest -q.
