I don't know too much about Flickr Auth, but I'm pretty sure that the 
Flickr API Key (aka consumer key) and the secret are baked into desktop 
apps.

One thing to consider is that the user had to download and install the 
app in the first place, so given that the user trusted the app enough to 
download and install it, it might not be that big of a deal that Flickr 
isn't able to authenticate the app. The user credentials are still 
reasonably secure, because users will still need to authorize the app 
(whatever it might be) to obtain a Flickr auth_token (aka Access Token) 
to access the user's data.
