I have/had the problem with lightdm after recent updates.  Something in 
lightdm (what you get with xfce) is broken.  Until fixed, you can do the 
following:
     yum  install  -y   lxdm
     systemctl  --force  enable  lxdm.service

Reboot and select the xfce desktop.

This does not fix anything but it lets you proceed.  I suspect the 
following updates:
