These services, which provide desktop using XFCE, GNOME, and MATE, are
defined in the file 'gnu/services/desktop.scm':

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/desktop.scm

Currently, we don't have a desktop service for LXDE.

Maybe a service is not required? It's possible to use i3 without a
desktop service. One just adds 'i3-wm' to the 'packages' field of their
config.scm and it will be available at the login screen.

You could try adding lxde to that list...

... and, unless you want to use XFCE, change that to (services
%desktop-services)
