Hi,

Arthur: great idea.

pulse.el is cool!  Thanks for pointing it out.

Unfortunately, the following is a bit too aggressive as it also updated on
ispell events and input-methods:

    (add-to-list 'buffer-list-update-hook
                 (defun rasmus/pulse () (pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line (point))))

Is there a hook that would better serve as an easy way to detect real
buffer changes, or would one have to introduce a state variable,
e.g. current buffer name?

    (defvar rasmus/pulse-buffer nil)

    (add-to-list 'buffer-list-update-hook
                 (defun rasmus/pulse () 
                   (unless (equal rasmus/pulse-buffer (buffer-name))
                     (pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line (point))
                     (setq rasmus/pulse-buffer (buffer-name)))))

Thanks,
Rasmus
