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
