How would you suggest fixing the original problem (of a minor mode
wanting to make the string that it puts in the mode line clickable in a
way specific to that minor mode)? How about either
- another keyword (say :propertize-default) which gives the new
properties priority over the existing properties
- a way for the :propertize keyword to specify the priority of each new
property relative to the exisiting properties
? The only other alternative I can think of is for mode-line-format not
to simply apply :propertize to minor-mode-alist, but instead to use
:eval and apply :propertize only to those minor modes that specify a
string without properties.

I agree that would be better.
