I believe the issue is that you need to set the #:build-type 
argument to meson-build-system.  Take a look at (guix)Build 
Systems in the Guix manual, and compare that with the sfwbar 
README’s build from source instructions.

Should be:

   (commit version)))

...to keep the source/package versions from drifting.

Please directly reference the variable holding the needed gtk 
version instead of using specification->package to look it up.

This should also be run through `guix style' and pass `guix lint'. 
You’ll likely need to fix up some things manually that `guix 
style' doesn’t handle.

Thanks for taking this on!
