You will want to use modify-services to modify the existing etc-service in 
%desktop-services. Check out the services reference in the manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Service-Reference.html

An example might be:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (etc-service-type conf 
    (do-something-to conf)))

Then you can append the new ones onto the modified services. 

Hope that helps,

John
