Perhaps the checkboxes to select the information to be displayed could live under an 'Information' or 'Detail' tab in the Sky and Viewing Options window [f4] dialogue box?
I could also imagine the information being displayed in the top left as a minimalist window containing just the object proper name or catalog ID (the minimum neccessary info). This window would have a transparent effect border in keeping with the bottom and side bar but much narrower. Either the window or preferably the border would contain a discrete down arrow. Clicking the down arrow would expand the information window to incude anything else that the user has optionally configured including any of the features described by Matthew below.
