guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
gnu/services/xorg.scm:442:41: In procedure screen-locker-service:
gnu/services/xorg.scm:442:41: In procedure struct_vtable: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting struct): "xscreensaver"

To fix, use

   (use-modules (gnu services xorg))
   (use-package-modules .... xdisorg)

   (operating-system
     ;; …
     (services (cons (screen-locker-service xscreensaver)
                     %desktop-services)))
