As far as I recall, the behavior you want is the default behavior, and has been for a long time. The control frame is only not selected if it is already existing and iconified, or if `ediff-use-long-help-message' is set to a non-nil value, or if your window manager prevents Emacs from setting input focus. Could one of these points be true for you? Michael.
