FWIW, I have an F28/xfce system installed in a VM. It uses lightdm
root 776 1 0 05:54 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lightdm
root 876 776 0 05:54 tty1 00:00:10 /usr/libexec/Xorg -core -noreset :0
-seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt1 -novtswitch -background
none
root 1058 776 0 05:54 ? 00:00:00 lightdm --session-child 12 19
The only "pam" packages installed on the system are...
gnome-keyring-pam-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64
pam-1.3.0-10.fc28.x86_64
systemd-pam-238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28.x86_64
pam_krb5-2.4.13-9.fc28.x86_64
fprintd-pam-0.8.0-2.fc28.x86_64
So, it seems to me, something else you've installed on your system pulled in
pam-kwallet and it isn't lightdm.
Maybe try removing it to see what else it tries to remove?
I did install KDE at one time, so it's probably from that. Regardless,
I just commented it out of the pam config. I could remove it, I suppose.
I don't expect to use KDE often, if at all.
