Indeed, there is only a timer for refreshing.  You must handle updating
yourself if you want it happen automatically in certain situations.

There are no hooks in the package defined.  However, for your use case,
`window-configuration-change-hook' seems appropriate.  Of course there
is `post-command-hook' as well.  time-consuming calculations should not
go there of course.

The mode-line etc. are refreshed as part of redisplay.  That can't be
controlled from Lisp.
