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
