I am open to suggestions, but I don't have much time to make major changes.
Couple of times (the above is perhaps the third) I received general
complaints about how bad ediff UI is (in almost exactly the same words as
above with no useful info attached), but when I asked to be more specific the
complainers did not bother to reply.

PPS. I am also not averse to the idea that somebody takes over the maintenance
of
ediff.
