In guix.texi, could you document ‘enlightenment-desktop-service-type’
and ‘enlightenment-desktop-configuration’?

[...]

> +(define-record-type* <enlightenment-desktop-configuration>
> +  enlightenment-desktop-configuration

> +  enlightenment-desktop-configuration
> +  (enlightenment enlightenment-package (default enlightenment)))

Actually, unless you expect more configuration elements to be added to
this record eventually, you might be better off without a record and
simply using the package as the value for that service.

WDYT?

Perhaps enlightenment_ckpasswd needs a PAM entry as well, like
‘screen-locker-service-type’ does?

Rather:

  (match (string-tokenize (%current-system) (char-set-complement (char-set #\-)))
    ((arch "linux") (string-append "linux-gnu-" arch))
    ((arch "gnu")   (string-append "gnu-" arch)))

> +(define* (enlightenment-desktop-service
> +           #:key (config (enlightenment-desktop-configuration)))

> +  (service enlightenment-desktop-service-type config))

Not needed!  :-)

Thank you,
Ludo’.
