You beat me to it--for years I've _hated_ that when you click on a 
sysfolder while in the page module you get a useless page view...

This is a good idea.

It might be worthwhile to think about using the BE / FE separation as 
the main organizational principle for page properties. For example there 
might be a BE and an FE tab on the Page properties view, one with e.g. 
TSconfig, BE permissions and so forth, and another with visibility, 
title/alias/navigation/not-in-menu etc.
