Copy/pasta, right?

A better name is ediff-floating-control-frame.

I would document this slightly differently:
If not-nil, try making the control frame be floating rather than tiled.
If your X window manager makes the Ediff control frame a tiled one,
set this to a non-nil value, and Emacs will try to make it floating.
This only has effect on X displays.
