Thanks - so the option is ediff-window-setup-function.
I suggest to give the function ediff-setup-windows-plain a docstring
like
Set up windows for Ediff in one frame.
Useful as value for `ediff-window-setup-function'.
Then your previous email telling me only about the function
ediff-setup-windows-plain gives an ignorant user like myself already
all the info he needs.

Is the problem with the above that frames do not have
selfexplanatory unique names? Oh well, too bad.

Yes, thanks, that would be better than the current phrase. If the
buzzword "surrogate" appears also in the corresponding section of
the elisp manual, I might have never started this thread.
