Yeah, I thought I remember something about xAuth not being open to
general access to desktop. Must have misremembered.

"native" applications (desktop and mobile) can have permanent access to
xAuth. web applications cannot. web applications can be granted
temporary (approximately 7 days) access so that you can "bulk convert"
your users from basic auth over to oauth.
does that help?

From what I've heard, xAuth is supposed to be temporary.
Is TweetDeck
just wording this wrong, or have they gained permanent
access to xAuth?
Actually, I am under the impression, and constructed TTYtter
under this
assumption, that desktop apps can have xAuth access on a longer
term basis.
Only web apps have time limits. See the notes on the (now obsoleted)
xAuth apiwiki:
The conversation I had on here with Raffi seemed to suggest xAuth
was temporary in nature.
