Further testing indicates that the above (#50) solution can be removed
once you have a working system.

Steps:
1. Added
      session required pam_loginuid.so
      session required pam_systemd.so
    to top of /etc/pam.d/<whatever_DM_file_you _use>
2. Logout, Restart X, Login
3. Check that you can do it all.
4. Remove
      session required pam_loginuid.so
      session required pam_systemd.so
    from /etc/pam.d/<whatever_DM_file_you _use>
5. Logout, Restart X, Login
6. Check that you can STILL do it all.

After step 2, I ran through the usual group of crash reports for
submission after login.  However, on the next login these crash reports
stopped occuring.

No reboot was performed until after step 6 to confirm the fix remained.

As a guess, the upgrade process needs to fufill some kind of rights
process that need these PAM lines during login to finish upgrading the
system.  I tested that this also fixes usability for all other user
logins--after performing all steps for one user login, other user logins
work as well.  So the fix seems to be a system wide correction that only
needs to be temporarily applied for a single login (probably requires a
user login who belongs to the admin/sudo group).
