The line number entry on the mode line is one of the very few that is
not mouse sensitive.
Adding a popup menu there that can be used to toggle line-number-mode
and column-number-mode seems very intuitive: set a property by
clicking on it's graphical representation.
Here's a proof of concept implementation. It am sure it can be
improved.
Opinions?

I recall there was an idea to bind mouse clicks on the line number to
`goto-line'.

They can of course be combined.
How about a more general module for popup menus where different modules
can register for popup menus. This could be bound to <apps> -- and
perhaps right click, since that is what users expect at least in most
w32 programs.

I wonder if you misunderstood me. Think of the case where different
minor modes and maybe the major mode want to add a popup menu. My
suggestion is to let them all do that but collect them in one popup menu.
