services that users typically expect on a machine with a graphical
environment and networking:
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %desktop-services
This is a list of services that builds upon @var{%base-services} and
adds or adjust services for a typical ``desktop'' setup.
In particular, it adds a graphical login manager (@pxref{X Window,
@code{slim-service}}), a network management tool (@pxref{Networking

an NTP client and an SSH server (@pxref{Networking Services}), the Avahi
daemon, and has the name service switch service configured to be able to

@end defvr
The @var{%desktop-services} variable can be used as the @code{services}
field of an @code{operating-system} declaration (@pxref{operating-system
