Reacting just to this bit, but that is possible, it is how all my
systems are configured.  Take a look at home-startx-command-service-type
or startx-command-service-type.  And I am basing my system directly on
%base-services, I find it easier to add into it compared to removing
from %desktop-services.

Hope this helps.
