To replicate:
1. launch gnome-todo
2. Click "New List" in the top-left corner of the window.
3. Create a new list with any name
4. click ok

An error message will appear in the top-center of the window:
"An error occurred... creating a task list [Details]"

5. Click "Details".

An error message shows:
"An error occurred while creating a tak list

The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Source5 was not provided
by any service files."

Any ideas how to fix?

Hi Jesse,

Looks like it needs the evolution-dataserver package to be installed in
a location where it is found for DBus activation.

A work-around is to install that package globally (by adding it to the
“packages” field in the operating system configuration) — or with a
reasonably recent version of Guix to install it in the default profile
(there’s a special case for DBus services installed to the default
profile).

A proper fix would involve propagating the evolution-dataserver package.

Could you please give one of these a try?

Done in 4451d08828.

Creating a new list in 'guix shell --pure endeavour -- endeavour' now
works for me.

Closing!
