What about an easier solution:

In nxnode, node_startsession you got the following code:

userip=$(getparam userip)

and you are already running in the context of the user.

So just add your creation of the .desktop file there - no need for a sudo 
program - though its in general a nice idea and very nice of PXES to start a 
samba server.
