I was able to build everything and start testing. To use “guix system
vm” I had to disable tests in QEMU due to a failure. I did not
investigate it.
This turned up in the logs [1]:
(.gnome-shell-real:317): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 03:50:44.482:
Settings schema 'org.gnome.mutter' is not installed.
It was followed by a warning that “org.gnome.Shell.desktop” was killed.
This is the same message mentioned in the comment explaining disabled
tests in the “mutter” package.
There’s a “glib-or-gtk?” flag for the Meson build system. Setting it to
“#t” in the “mutter” package makes GDM and GNOME work in a VM. It
compiles the schemas and wraps Mutter so that it knows where they are.
It does nothing for the tests, though. However, from the log of an
older Mutter build [2], it looks like the tests were not being run
correctly under Autotools anyway (it looks like not a single test is
actually run).
Hope that helps!

[1] It’s not obvious, but if you edit the GDM configuration file
generation code in “gnu/services/xorg.scm”, you can enable debug output
for GDM. The debug output is usually extremely helpful!
