So, after nobody answered to my problem and a guix pull / reconfigure
did change nothing I replaced gdm with slim with following changes:

(use-modules (gnu)
             (srfi srfi-1)
             (gnu system nss))
(use-service-modules desktop ssh xorg)
(use-package-modules bootloaders certs ratpoison emacs-xyz
                     suckless wm xorg emacs web-browsers)

...

 (services (cons* (service openssh-service-type
                   (openssh-configuration
                    (permit-root-login #t)))
                  (service slim-service-type)
                  (remove (lambda (service)
                            (eq? (service-kind service) gdm-service-type))
                          %desktop-services)))

and slim just works, it fixes the problem for me because I don't want to
run gdm on this low power machine anyway, but maybe somebody can
understand why slim runs and gdm not, I did not do much special I just
wanted to make my first guix install and got X running with the
light-desktop config with some minor unrelated changes like adding a few
packages and activate ssh. The only thing as I said was that I set a
password for root, but that seems also not to be such a untypical
step. So I wonder if that is a 32bit only problem else I would assume
many people would run into that. More or less the default installation
broke, sure not the graphical installation, with that I had problems
with grub, because if I remember correctly it assumed efi support.

It's strange to me that switching the display-manager fixes the problem
because that would imply that the gdm package is buggy, which again it's
in the default desktop-services variable.

But for me it's ok and maybe somebody else runs into that problem, then
maybe my bug report information helps.

shortly after installing X and making the first few changes setting the

/----------------------------------------------

Authentication needed [...] intel-backlight-helper and a password prompt
that I can't hit on, and somethnig with polkit.

I think it propable had to do with me setting a root password. I unset
it with password -dl root and only passwd -d root, but both didn't fix
it.
