A week ago I finally got myself to patch my Emacs (24.1.1) using the procedure described here:

http://www.sanityinc.com/full-screen-support-for-cocoa-emacs...

Although that post (and the patch) is a bit dated, it worked fine for me (one hunk didn't apply cleanly but after reviewing it I decided it's obsolete, so I just ignored it.)

The result is just what I expected, I can't believe I waited that long before giving it a try. Highly recommended, if like me you prefer native Emacs over one running in a terminal.

(Somehow it even manages to avoid that annoying full-screen animation which so far I didn't manage to completely turn off for iTerm.)
