Currently the easiest way to get X running is to use =E2=80=98slim-service=
=E2=80=99:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#X-Window

Add it to the operating system declaration, like:

  (operating-system
    ;; ...
    (services (cons (slim-service) %base-services)))

Then =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure config.scm=E2=80=99, restart, and the=
 system
should get straight to the graphical log-in screen (SLiM).

HTH!
