Update: I decided to check the latest git master commit to see if thedocs had changed. I found something about controlling the keyboard
layout, and I found more examples in the guix-help archives. This is
the 'services' field that I ended up using:
(services (cons* (console-keymap-service "dvorak")
(gnome-desktop-service)
(xfce-desktop-service)
(modify-services %desktop-services
(slim-service-type config =>
(slim-configuration
(
startx (xorg-start-command
(xorg-configuration-file
'("Section \"InputClass\"
Identifier \"keyboard-all\"
Option \"XkbLayout\" \"dvorak\"
MatchIsKeyboard \"on\"
EndSection")))))))))
This successfully fixed the problem in the login manager. (GNOME, of
course, had to be configured separately.)
