Hello Guix!

This series introduced a VNC server service type, xvnc-service-type.  To make
it more useful, it also makes it possible to enable XDMCP for GDM and disable
its auto-suspend default behavior, which would otherwise break remote
sessions.

I found it useful not only to move heavy tasks such as running many VMs in
GNOME Boxes to a distant, more powerful machine, but also when run locally,
because I can login as a different user in a completely different session and
explore or test things without leaving the comfort of my own usual session,
and without the hindrances of virtualization.

I hope you find it useful too!

Thanks,
