The problem is that there are too many situations when ediff has to remember to undedicate or delete that window if the user decides to postpone the work and do something else. > > That little ediff window does not need to be dedicated, since nothing else > > gets into it unless you try hard :-) > > If you use Emacs client then new files are opened in the ediff control > window. Then use multiframe setup :-) Just dedicating that small window does not work. Too much stuff needs to be taken care of. I'll take another look though.
