Using face of newline for remainer of display line

Using face of newline for remainer of display line

[Jonas Bernoulli]

Is it possible to use all properties of the face of the newline
character at the end of a line for the complete remainer of the display
line?

  (insert (propertize "heading\n"
                      'face '(:background "gray90" :underline t)))

This causes the complete display line to use "gray90" as background
color, but only "heading " is underlined.  Is there a way to tell Emacs
to also use other face properties for the remainer of the display line?

  Thanks,
  Jonas

Not "heading ", but "heading" followed by the newline.

Append to the line a stretch glyph which goes all the way to the edge
of the window (e.g., with :align-to display property).  Otherwise,
Emacs simply instructs X to fill the rest of the line with the
background color.
