My config has slim-service-type and no mention of "gdm" anywhere (unchanged
for more than a year).
I suddenly got gdm when I did "guix system reconfigure"--and it didn't work
to login.  Slim was gone on reboot.
That's why I was fixing gdm in the last few days (bug# 35377).

Yeah, seems that it also needs a polkit extension.
I've added it to guix master now, as
commit 9374cbd1fb29395a5e849e95e8a249e5f9f944c0.
