Re: address@hidden: weird behavior of ediff with multiple displays]

    I don't think this is the right thing to do in all cases.
    This shouldn't happen when there is another frame that already has a
    minibuffer.

I don't like the idea of making one frame use another frame's
minibuffer, as a default.  If you want to do that, you can do it
explicitly, by specifying a different value for the `minibuffer' frame
parameter.  But the thing Emacs does automatically is create a separate
minibuffer frame.

I just commented out an incorrect change which would have altered
that.

    For some reason emacs adds the separate minibuffer frame
    when it works over the ssh tunnel and displays frames on the local
    machine (while running on a remote).

Perhaps the code that creates the separate minibuffer frame
needs to specify different arguments in that case.

The code is in make_frame_without_minibuffer.
Would someone like to suggest a patch to make it DTRT
in this case?
