[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
There are unnecessary packages installed (as dependencies, I guess) when I install Guix with GNOME. One of these is slock (screen locker). I suppose is a dependency issue... idk. Hope you can fix it. Good luck.

Slock is a dependency of all desktop services in Guix, not only GNOME:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/desktop.scm?h=v1.3.0#n1229

Is it a problem?
