Whoops! I just replied to the thread. Didn't pay attention to the
last
poster. My bad! (now flailing myself with wet linguini)

Understand that normally I use Xfce. I simply did a
dnf groupinstall "LXQt Desktop"
then logged out of my Xfce session and logged in under an LXQt
session. It may be that my greeter, session manager or display
manager is different in this sort of scenario than you have, but it
works. Under Xfce, I use lightdm as my display manager and that may
still be the case under LXQt (I don't think the display manager gets
changed by simply installing a new desktop).
IIRC, LXQt uses lxdm as the display manager by default and there are
postings about lxdm not updating utmp out there in Google-land. I
didn't
check to see what was running when I was in LXQt. Sorry...probably
should have.
Sorry, Lxqt uses SDDM! (I don't know how stable SDDM is yet, I saw
a lot of problems mentioned on the web).
I just checked and the permissions for the file that "user" and
"who"
rely on is:
root@golem4 ~]# ls -l /var/run/utmp
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 1152 Aug 3 12:55 /var/run/utmp
so you can see it got touched today (that is about the time I logged
back into Xfce after terminating the temporary LXQt session).
Mine was touched to, same permissions.

I checked a bit, too, but I didn't see anything obvious that would
relate to that other than the aforementioned issues with lxdm versus
lightdm.

Yeah, I'm curious to know what's what.
See the mail I posted before this one.
