Inheritance and rules/triggers

For some reason, I assumed that rules and triggers on a base table
would run when operations are performed on inherited tables.  After I
spent the day setting up some tables and functions based on that
assumption, I discovered that it seems to be incorrect.

I'm posting this in the hope that I'm missing something.  I hope.  Please.

My system has a lot of tables which are linked to some information which
must be updated when any of them are updated.  If we miss one or add a new
table in the future and forget to set the trigger, it would be a major
problem.  I thought using a trigger on the base table would be a clever
solution. :-/
