And I just had lightdm screw up royally. First, upon login I got an XFCE polkit error popup, which is singularly useless in telling you anything you can troubleshoot with. Then, I had no access to the sound hardware on my machine, nor could I enable/disable wireless, play with firewall settings or anything else, as polkit thought I didn't have permissions to do anything, nor did it ever pop up an authentication dialog.
This is not the fault of lightdm but of pam-kwallet. See this other thread:
F27 problems with pam?

I think it's too early to assign blame. There clearly *is* some sort of problem between lightdm/pam-kwallet/polkit, but where exactly and how to address it has yet to be determined.
Formal bug tracking the issue is here, if you want to follow along: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1581495
