Sorry, it works this way


                                (slim-service-type config =>
                                              (slim-configuration
                                               (xorg-configuration
                                                 (xorg-configuration
                                                  (extra-config
                                                  
'("Section \"InputClass\"
        Identifier \"touchpad\"
        Driver \"libinput\"
        MatchIsTouchpad \"on\"
        Option \"Tapping\" \"on\"
EndSection")
                                 )))))


I have found how to use 'extra-config` function in `info guix` using keyword 'extra-config' and reading this:

     ‘extra-config’ (default: ‘'()’)
          This is a list of strings or objects appended to the
          configuration file.  It is used to pass extra text to be added
          verbatim to the configuration file.


Thank you! Touchpad works, and guix reconfigures system normally.
