    How about letting C-mouse-2 always bring up the Text Properties menu? The
    mode-line, header-line, and fringe are now places that have a foreground and
    background property, IIUC. Why not let users use the Text Properties menu to
    interrogate and change those properties? 

It is not very useful, and the current meanings are more useful.
