On trying to login via the lockscreen, it gives no error but flashes briefly and comes back again (i.e. is still locked). It's not a password error. I have to use "loginctl unlock-sessions" from a console to recover.
This is very recent (I update daily). The last update to kscreenlocker was over a month ago so it must be some other component.

Any recent kernel or video driver related updates?

Kernel updated to kernel-4.7.9-200 and akmod-nvidia-367.57.

I have the same problem since the updates I installed yesterday.
Seems to be caused by an update of the nvidia driver to xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64 1:367.57-1.fc24 I downgraded to 367.44 and everything works again.

Interesting.

Can you please tell me how I would go about doing it?
First make sure your packages will not be automatically updated again.
Download all x86_64 packages and the i686 versions of xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs and xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda (or all i686 if you are running Fedora i686; skip the i686 packages if you are running a clean x86_64-only system) from http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1859
Get the corresponding akmod-nvidia package for your architecture (just one, NOT the x86_64 AND the i686) from http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1863
check with "rpm -qa | grep nvidia" that you have downloaded replacements for every package except for kmod-nvidia
run "dnf --allowerasing install *.rpm" in the directory you have downloaded the packages into (clean directory with just the downloadad RPMs). Only the kmod-nvidia packages should be listed for removal, if it wants to remove more, you likely did something wrong and should not proceed.
Wait some time for akmods to build and install the kmod-nvidia package for your running kernel.
reboot
I guess it is not exactly related to the minor nvidia driver version update but more to the fact that the updated packages make use of the system libglvnd package instead of providing their own versions of the contained libraries.
