When doing a reconfigure, I got this message:
/home/luther/config.scm:60:10: warning: 'gnome-desktop-service' is deprecated, use 'gnome-desktop-service-type' instead
So I changed (gnome-desktop-service) to (gnome-desktop-service-type) and got
this error:
guix system: error: failed to load 'config.scm':
/home/luther/config.scm:60:10: Wrong type to apply: #<service-type gnome-desktop 1bc6280>
That told me that gnome-desktop-service-type is not a function, so I removed
the parentheses and got this error:

The manual at System Configuration > Services > Desktop Services says both that
gnome-desktop-service-type is a procedure and a variable of type
gnome-desktop-configuration.

Luther,
What you need here is (service gnome-desktop-service-type). The service
function will turn the service-type into a service object which is what
you need in this context.
The documentation for service can be found in the manual
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Service-Reference.html#Service-Reference>.
In particular, note that in addition to the service-type service can take
a value (often the configuration for the service). Since
gnome-desktop-service-type has a default value, the value can be omitted.
I've closed the bug, since I think this should work when you replace
(gnome-desktop-service-type) with (service gnome-desktop-service-type),
but please let us know if you have more questions.
Best,
Jack

Thank you. That seems to work so far.
