Start Emacs like this:
1. emacs -Q --eval "(require 'ediff)"
2. emacsclient -c
3. C-h v ediff-window-setup-function
=> ediff-setup-windows-multiframe
Now start Emacs like this:
1. emacs -Q --daemon --eval "(require 'ediff)"
2. emacsclient -c
3. C-h v ediff-window-setup-function
=> ediff-setup-windows-plain
I haven't tried debugging this, but my first guess is that
ediff-setup-windows-multiframe requires non-nil window-system but (still
guessing) when there is no frame window-system evaluates to nil.

You can take --daemon out of this equation, you'd get the same when
doing
emacs -Q and emacs -Q -nw

I should have been more explicit about the point of this bug report,
which is this: when I invoke `emacsclient -c' under X11, I expect the
usual behavior under X11, but in the above case, --daemon apparently
circumvents this behavior.
I cannot tell from the current documentation when using --daemon has
this effect and when it doesn't. Hence I cannot tell whether this is a
bug or a limitation of the current implementation. So I hope this and
similar bug reports lead to both more complete documentation and either
a bug fix or, at some point, a more feature-rich implementation.

Again, you get the same problem if you do:
emacs -Q -nw -f server-start --eval "(require 'ediff)"
emacsclient -c
M-x ediff
and you have a problem if you do
emacs -Q -f server-start --eval "(require 'ediff)"
emacsclient -t
M-x ediff

Not really, this is not a problem with --daemon, it's a problem in the
ediff implementation that it evaluates ediff-window-setup-function at
load time. This is not appropriate anymore now when you can have both
X11 and tty frames in the same emacs session.

Ok, now I see what you meant.

Yes, I too now see this is an ediff bug. Thanks for the response!

Michael, could you please take care of this problem?
Thanks.
