Hi,

There are different ways to find these values=2E You can grep through the =
code from https://git=2Esavannah=2Egnu=2Eorg/git/guix=2Egit (https://git=2E=
savannah=2Egnu=2Eorg/cgit/guix=2Egit for the web version)=2E You can also r=
un `guix repl` and type the variable name (you might need to import some mo=
dules before, I didn't check)=2E Most of the time however, these variables =
are explained in the manual=2E

For %desktop-services, the actual definition is around here: https://git=
=2Esavannah=2Egnu=2Eorg/cgit/guix=2Egit/tree/gnu/services/desktop=2Escm#n10=
47

For default values of records, you'll have look at the code or the manual=
=2E Services are defined in gnu/services/*=2Escm=2E
