This is good.  Now you need to declare what services in addition to the
base services you’d like to run.

To do that, add a ‘services’ field in the ‘operating-system’ declaration
above (see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Using-the-Configuration-System>):

  (services (cons* (tor-service)
                   (slim-service)
                   %base-services))

‘slim-service’ is called this way because it starts Xorg with the SLiM
login manager; see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#X-Window>.

HTH!
