Ever since upstream gnome-applets made the modemlights applet depend on gnome-system-tools, we used to include the old modemlights applet from gnome 2.9 in the gnome-applets package. This is obviously problematic, since that code is not maintained at all, and it refuses to build against current kernel headers now. Therefore, I have dropped it from the gnome-applets package in rawhide now.

There are some options for people who really depend on the modemlights applet: - start maintaining the old modemlights applet and package it separately - convince upstream to make the gnome-system-tools dependency optional - package gnome-system-tools for Fedora - make sure that the ppp that is going to appear in NetworkManager meets your needs
