Actually, for the social-media thing, I've been looking at the Facebook 
plugin for some time, but didn't have time to make progress on fixing 
it... The current version could be fixed if I had ownership of the FB 
App (so that I can change the required permissions), and that would 
require no code change. I've asked on the mailing list, but to no avail. 
So the solution I've been leaning towards is to create my own "F-Spot 
Export Plugin" app with the right permissions, but the plugin code is so 
old that the authentication method is not supported for newly created 
Apps... So that would require a major revamping of the plugin as well 
(making use of newer auth API). Maybe that would be the opportunity to 
use a Facebook/C# SDK, but that also requires investigation and I am 
lacking time for that, a bit, at the moment :(
