Nope, not a one that you would normally consider a service.  Cups is a
service (heck it's built on Apache), but it runs as it's own user id and
I personally bind it to localhost.  Gnome is a hornets nests of
services.  So yes I do run services, probably not ones that you are
thinking of.  None of them are listening on any public ports.  Really,
why should they on a Desktop.  Why would someone run httpd and/or sshd
on a laptop/desktop?

Technically a process that listens for data to respond to can be
considered a server/service.
