I actually commented on your bug report saying I can reproduce it, but it seems that the comments mechanism in issues.gnu.org does not work.

I've never been able to use the CD/DVD drive since I migrated to the Guix System (see http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35584). With core-updates, the problem remains to some extent. The difference is that if I leave a DVD in, and reboot, Nautilus detects the DVD (https://multimedialib.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/guix-gnome-nautilus-cd-dvd-lectura-2020-04-25-1.png) and I can use it. But once I extract it and put it in again, it is not detected. In the image in the previous paragraph you can also see a problem in the rendering of the icon in the button to extract the DVD. Several buttons in GNOME applications look like this. I'm wondering if this problem and the GNOME Web app icon rendering problem are related...

By the way, it would be great if someone could review this patch: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39069, which is supposed to fix bugs like this one: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/40686, which have been around for a long time and make the GNOME experience unsatisfying from day one.
Re: core-updates call for testing
I reconfigured my Guix System based on core-updates, and afterwards I
was unable to login, either remotely over SSH, or on the Linux console.
After cutting the power to the computer and turning it back on, I was
able to log in.
I've attached my configuration file for your reference.

Same here. So far, things are working normally. I see the same bugs I've reported against GNOME 3.32.2. Sadly, the leak reported in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40116 is still there.
