This is due to the fact that %desktop-services includes wicd-service.
Somewhere in the current documentation there is a paragraph that explains
how to delete a service from a list of services (which is a bit more
complicated than just removing a fixed variable, and amounts to checking
the type of a service), but I have trouble finding it again.
Ah, one needs to iterate over the services s in the list and test
(eq? (service-kind s) some-service-type).
