I can't really remove it - notice I'm using append and two
lists instead of cons* - the remove procedure returns a list of services
without GDM and removing the parenthesis would make a nested list
inside the list of services "operating-system" accepts.

I've just replaced append+list with cons* just for testing purposes and
it still doesn't work, the same result.

But trying another solution have helped:

I replaced (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout ...)) in slim-configuration
with (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout).
Thanks for helping me.

set-xorg-configuration doesn't work with slim though, would be nice if
someone fixed it and the fact (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "pl,cz"
"legacy,ucw")) works on your machine, but not on mine is strange.
