- currently, the .desktop calls the "boot-repair" executable, which
calls the script that chooses the best "su" command (e.g. it will call
"gksudo boot-repair"). Do you know a better way to implement it ?

How about creating an explicit boot-repair-wrapper script that chooses the best 
way to get root permissions?
As an additional precautionary action boot-repair itself could check if it has 
root permissons and exit otherwise. It would not try to get the permissions 
itself, however.
The desktop file would call boot-repair-wrapper.

If you are afraid someone might call boot-repair instead of boot-repair-wrapper 
because it has the nicer name, you might name them
boot-repair (for the wrapper script)
and boot-repair-backend or boot-repair-real (for the current boot-repair)

Just a suggestion.
Best Regards!
