Really odd that lightdm would have such a dependency. I could see it if I were using KDE, but wow! Looking at my dnf logs, pam-kwallet got updated (for me) on the 18th, but I didn't log out until sometime on the 19th. The defecation hit the impeller yesterday (the 21st) when I logged in for the first time after the update. Grrrrrr! I suppose I could just disable the pam_kwallet lines from the pam config and try again with lightdm. Using lxdm works around the issue for now, however, so I have a way out in case that's not the issue. Thanks for the tip, Francis!
