I'm running Guix system i686 and I use GDM, including the service to
have it started at boot, and it works, but I didn't manage to run guix
system reconfigure recently yet because of the issue mentioned in this
thread.

With my patches, I can install gdm without GJS, it's only the gdm
service that brings rust as dependency, not the gdm package. 

To be able to install gdm without rust, I had to use the right librsvg
in gnome-settings-daemon.
