By calling modify-services twice, you are inadvertently duplicating the list of
services from %desktop-services. What if you try instead to put all the
modifications you require in one such form?
#+begin_src
(modify-services %base-services
(delete gdm-service-type)
(sysctl-service-type config => ...
))
#+end_src
See the example under ’System Services’ in the manual section ’Using the
Configuration System’ for more clarity.
