Changing your application type has no effect on existing access tokens. If a key has the xAuth permission granted to it, xAuth can be performed using the API key regardless of the setting for application type. Applications set to "desktop" cannot dynamically present a oauth_callback on the request token step (unless the value of oauth_callback is equal to "oob" for PIN-code out-of-band OAuth), while apps set to "client" have the ability to dynamically set an oauth_callback as they see fit. When saving an application in "client" mode, one must provide a placeholder callback URL even though it's a best practice (and valid OAuth) to set the oauth_callback explicitly.
