Here is an alternative recipe that I have been using:

(require 'show-wspace)
(add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'show-ws-highlight-hard-spaces)
(add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'show-ws-highlight-tabs)
(add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'show-ws-highlight-trailing-whitespace)

whitespace.

The problem is, after you turn it on, it will make you cry as you
realize how sloppy most code and other files are written.
