Putting "surrogate minibuffer attribute" on a frame which doesn't even
have a minibuffer wouldn't make much sense.

But I guess it would make sense to indicate that this ediff-control
frame is kind of "secondary" or "transient" or "deletable if its
minibuffer disappears".  Maybe we could solve this one with a kind of
delete-window-hook similar to kill-buffer-hook, so ediff could use this
hook to auto-delete the ediff-control frame when you delete the
other windows.
