Actually, I'm not sure this will work at all, because Emacs needs a
place to put the cursor at EOL.  So it cannot put a character there,
because without a fringe, there's no place to display the cursor.

I think you will have a much better approximation of what you want if
you keep the fringe, but make it 1-pixel wide.
