Though not an answer to your specific question, if you customize
ediff-window-setup-function to be ediff-setup-windows-plain, then no extra
frame will be created when you launch ediff. The ediff control window will be
a small (one line) window beneath the windows of the buffers being compared,
and it will have the focus so you can just start driving ediff.
