Agreed, it sounds like there's no solution for that part.

I call this Win32 full-screen mode.  There are a couple of differences: 1) Does
the Windows program "know" that it's in a full-screen mode or does it think
it's windowed and the window is resizable.  2) Do the menu and dock appear when
the cursor is moved to the screen edge?

I don't think it's so strange to have different approaches to full-screen mode.
 I'm sure there are Mac-native games which have a windowed mode which is
eligible for Cocoa full-screen and also a separate full-screen mode.

Correct, not all windows are eligible for Cocoa full-screen.  The most likely
thing preventing those games from being eligible is that their windows are not
resizable.  Non-resizable windows are not eligible because Cocoa full-screen
operates like resizing.  In addition, most owned windows like dialog boxes are
not.  Most tool windows are not.  The general rule is that only windows that
would appear on the taskbar under Windows and are also resizable are eligible.

We could make more windows eligible, but that might not help.  If a game
doesn't allow its window to be resized, then it probably won't work right if
the Mac driver resizes it anyway.
