Per ‘guix system shepherd-graph desktop.tmpl’, the only dependent of
‘term-tty2’ is ‘console-font-tty2’.

I just tried in a desktop.tmpl VM and only ‘console-font-tty2’ is
restarted (screenshot attached.)  Same on my laptop, which uses Xorg but
not GNOME.

Could it be something with the Wayland-related services?  Could you
check ‘guix system shepherd-graph’ on your config?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
