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). Andreas
