Note that if you set up the defaults Enrico cited (or equivalently,
from the menubar select "Tools/Ediff Miscellanea/Use toolbar with
Ediff control buffer" and deselect "use separate frame for Ediff
control buffer") then there is no place to put the cursor so that it
will be in the control buffer! If Ediff is designed so that it cannot
work this way, then it shouldn't be allowed to set up the defaults
from the menubar this way.
No, this is a bug in xemacs. There should be a small window at the bottom.
I did see this bug before, but I havent seen it in 20.4 under linux or solaris.
I didn't try the latest betas, so I presume that this bug was re-introduced
again. (he is using it under NT, though, and I don't know if this problem
was ever fixed there).
The problem is (was) that xemacs deletes windows that are smaller than the
default window-min-height even though ediff redefines this using "let".
As I said, this was fixed in 20.4, but now it seems that it came back.
