And, in my experience, you can't make everybody happy all the time 
anyway.  But if all he wants to do is dig, and if his insistence on this 
behavior isn't disruptive, then getting my GM undies in a bundle is 
wasted energy.

This is an entirely different matter if it's disruptive.  As Gav points 
out, I am also the host (excellent analogy, by the way, Gav, thanks), so 
if the digger tries to be disruptive to the game, I won't tolerate that.

I won't make him go to the other side of the room; I would, in fact, be 
very much inclined to ask him to leave.

"Look, the spirit of the game here is for everyone to have fun 
adventuring in a fantasy world.  What you're doing is making this less 
fun for everyone else and is notably out of alignment with what we're 
trying to do here.  Please -- either get it figured out and have fun 
with what the rest of us are doing, or pack up your things, leave my 
house, and don't come to any more gaming sessions with this group."

Definitely not Emily Post ettiquette, where I should endeavor to make 
everything pleasant for this session and then simply disinvite his 
return, but then I don't polish the window-brass, either, and I let my 
friends rummage through my fridge and cupboard for drinks and snacks.
