Francis,

You could use   buffer-list-changed-hook.  It's called whenever
a frame has its buffers modified. You'd need to call (window-list) on
that frame, and then get the buffer for each window. Then check if that
buffer has yet to be processed by your hook

If you want only the text-editing buffers, regardless of the major mode,
then putting a defadvice on fundamental-mode (it doesn't have a hook),
should work. IIRC, all text-edting modes are derived from fundamental-mode,
and its hooks/init function are called.

HTH,
