Sorry; I didn't mean to sound like I was reporting a bug as much as an
uncomfortable system interaction.  My primary problem with ediff is
the Ediff Control Panel; I find that I have to manually give it focus
after almost every operation. I was wondering if anyone had worked out
a way around this annoyance on click-to-focus systems like Windows
and MacOSX.
