This may be totally irrelevant, but just now I was poking around and found the 
following:

 Ns Use Native Fullscreen 
   Non-nil means to use native fullscreen on OSX >= 10.7. Hide
   Nil means use fullscreen the old (< 10.7) way.  The old way works better with
   multiple monitors, but lacks tool bar.  This variable is ignored on OSX < 
10.7.
   Default is t for OSX >= 10.7, nil otherwise.

This was in customization buffer:

Ns group: GNUstep/Mac OS X specific features.

which is a subgroup of Environment.

I am using "GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS 
apple-appkit-1265.21) of 2015-04-10 on builder10-9.porkrind.org" with OS X 
Yosemite 10.10.4, on a Mac Book Air 13 (mid 2012)
