Hmmm. Those API's were added in a recent patch that fixed the fullscreen 
implementation. I didn't realize they were > 10.6.

There's no formal policy to drop 10.5 support, and that's the minimum OS 
version to build Tk-Cocoa, but as Apple is speeding up its OS releases 
(and dropping support for older ones), it's harder to keep up.

I don't think untangling those specific API's is a valid option at this 
point because the fullscreen support was so broken under Cocoa. My best 
advice is if you want to use Cocoa on 10.5, stick with an older 
ActiveState release.
