Guile does allow you to write in that style and accepts it in the wild,
but it's not a typical Guile coding style.  Round brackets are much
preferred.

The description should not rely on the synopsis to do the explanation. 
You can filter Guix' output so that only one or the other appears, so
both ought to make sense on their own.   On that note, mentioning C++
and GTK in the synopsis might be a little overkill for a package with a
description that is about as large, but fair enough.

What about the following: "gsimplecal is a lightweight calendar
application written in C++ using GTK.  Launched once, it pops up a
small calendar applet, launched again it closes the running instance. 
It can additionally be configured to show the current time in different
timezones."?

Again a reminder to put comments after this little dashed line if you
want to do inline comments.  We have to filter the large verbage from
the commit message otherwise.

Revision counting typically starts at 0.  On that note, this seems to
be the release commit, so you can use (commit (string-append "v"
version)) below with version simply being "2.2".

Inputs are typically ordered before native-inputs.
