Can you explain what you did to make it work?

This is what I tried, and I just confirmed it does not work:

(defadvice abbrev-expand (after one-space activate)
  "Run just-one-space after expanding an abbrev"
  (just-one-space))

To be clear: This works if I hit C-x '. It does not work if I'm using  
the abbrev minor mode and something is automatically expanded when I  
hit SPC.
