I don't think it's that. See below.

We are using lightdm and noticed also this problem.

So I'm not alone...

Perhaps I didn't express clear enough.
With lightdm I had the problem (as you confirmed you had too)
With gdm I don't have the problem at all
 

I found that the culprit is the RPM pam-kwallet-5.12.5-3.fc27: if you
erase it this problem disappear.  You indicated this RPM in your
initial post.

I can try and verify if it is the same for my environment

In the mean time I took the occasion to switch back again to gdm as DM and gnome-session as DE
I have to say that it seems more usable and less cpu consuming as in the time when I abandoned it (especially gnome-shell process that often became mad...)
Also, after disabling tracker related things (see the other thread), it seems to me that all in all this configuration in F28 on my laptop (Asus U36SD) consumes less (battery lasts more) than the previous F27+lightdm+Mate DE
I will continue to test and eventually switch again if not satisfied.
The important is to preserve the power of choice and ability to change if needed ;-)
 

It is safe to suppress the pam_kwallet RPM since it fails anyway to
spawn kwalletd and no other RPM depends ont it.

Nice side effect for an optional module :-(


Indeed!

Thanks for your comments and help
