I just tried modifying my system's services as follows (basically), and
Network Manager didn't quite work for me (I did 'guix pull' first):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %modified-desktop-services
  (cons (network-manager-service)
        (remove (lambda (service)
                  (eq? wicd-service-type (service-kind service)))
                %desktop-services)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When I rebooted, I observed the following:

* In the GNOME Control Center, when I click on Network, I see
  information about Network Manager.  This is good.
  
* However, Network Manager did NOT display any wireless networks.  This
  is not what I expected; I expected it to find my wireless network.

I found NetworkManager errors like the following in /var/log/messages,
which seems suspicious:

I wonder if someone else has seen this before?  I briefly searched the
guix-devel archives, and the debbugs reports, but didn't find anything
like this.
