Oops, my bad: this should be

  (use-modules (gnu services xorg) (gnu packages xdisorg))

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

where ‘xscreensaver’ is a reference to the ‘xscreensaver’ variable
exported by the (gnu packages xdisorg) module.
