Normally when I start Ediff (on a tty), it divides the visible frame into 2 buffer windows + a single-line control window. This works well. However, on X-windows, it creates a dinky little control frame, floating over the main frame (note the space between these two words), obscuring part of it. I find this ugly and awkward, flipping frames when I don't want to, and so on. How do I tell Ediff to create the single-line control window in the main frame, even on X-windows? I've looked at the Ediff fine manual configuration section, but didn't find anything relevant there. Thanks in advance! -- Alan Mackenzie (Ittersbach, Germany).
