This seems to work properly in 21.3, but not in current/recent CVS.
This is on Solaris running twm as the window manager.

If I invoke ediff, say to compare two files, ediff starts a little
separate "control frame".  

-- On Windows, this frame gets focus and the pointer gets warped there.
-- On Linux/Sawfish, the same.
-- On Solaris/twm (focus follows pointer), the X pointer gets warped
   into the bottom right corner of the screen!

Any ideas/comments?  Can anyone reproduce this behavior?

I can not be reproduce this on Solaris 9.

I am on Solaris 7.  Do not see how it should matter, though.  Any
hints on how I would go about tracking this down?  A really primitive
test of the pointer positioning function seems to indicate it works!

I can actually reproduce this on any platform with any window manager 
now.  There is a tiny interval between giving the two files/buffers for 
ediff to compare and when the small ediff window is popped up. If I move 
the mouse in that interval the pointer is warped to the bottom right 
corner.  Also, if after I have given the two files/buffers and the 
pointer is not over any Emacs frame, ediff will warp the pointer to the 
bottom right corner.

The warping code in ediff was not immediately obvious, I think an ediff 
expert should take a look at this.  It may have something to do with 
focus on click or focus follows pointer.  It looks like an ediff 
specific problem.

Could you talk with kifer@cs.sunysb.edu about it?

Now I can no longer reproduce the problem on my end.  May have been a
"feature" of an X server that was up for way too long for its own
sanity. 

Just thought you might want to know.
