AFAIK, the lock screen requires GDM, which currently does not work on
GuixSD [1]. For now, I use xlock to lock my screen. If I want to lock
and suspend, I use the following rather unglamorous command:
$ xlock & (sleep 3; loginctl suspend)
If anyone has any better advice, I would love to hear it!
Someday I would like to return to fixing GDM, but I am a bit
traumatized. It is a very slow and frustrating package to debug.
