The same for me. :-/

Did you do that already?

Do you mean this one?
 Modem monitor 2.10.0
 Applet for activating and monitoring a dial-up network connection.

It is available in the Applets List for me, installed to
$prefix/libexec/modem_applet and is part of desktop/gnome-applets.

Please check, if you got those files.

Maybe related to the one above?

Removing those packages is ok and should not cause any issues.

However, as you ran 'make install', there can be packages remaining
unbuilt, which can cause issues. Please make sure you got everything
built by running 'make paranoid-install' in the desktop/ directory.

Yes, this is normal and necessary during installation of libgnomesu.
