Martin,

I thought about this problem (distributing the private API key) in the source a
few months ago. 

It is a problem with Facebook and with other services, and will be a problem
with newer services. What we are doing is wrong according to their policies.

The only solution that would abide by the policy of "do not distribute the
private key in the source" I could come with is to have a KDE-wide server (for
instance, appkeys.kde.org ) and have our applications send a request to that
server that would return the private key.

Granted, it is actually as insecure as distributing the key with the source,
but at least would not violate Facebook's, Twitter's, etc policy so obviously.
