For reference only (I haven't thought much):

For info:
------------------------------------
|  Info file
|  mouse-1: Display file name
|  mouse-2: Go to top node of file
|  mouse-3: Index
------------------------------------

For shell:
------------------------------------
|  Process status
|  mouse-2: Kill process
------------------------------------

I think that "Info file" and "Process status" should be used at least, because there should be some introductory text, just like the `display-time-mode'.
