In that case maybe it's not necessary to do anything in 10.7 (at least for apps that implement the new full screen mode). I haven't even tested on 10.7 yet which I'll do soon.

I did actually read about this. I'm new to Cocoa so I wasn't sure if I was doing it right but the NSApplication docs suggest I can observe the value of currentSystemPresentationOptions. My tests didn't get the method invoked I set to observe but I like I said this could be because the app I was testing (QuickTime Player) didn't enter full screen via NSApplication's presentationOptions. I posted what the docs say at the end. But how to do I know if the app in full screen mode actually uses this API? It doesn't seem reliable even if I did figure out the KVO system in Cocoa correctly.
One other idea is getting a notification if the menu bar was hidden since this usually means an app went into full screen mode but I can't find that notification either.
-------
These are the presentation options that have been put into effect by the currently active application.
This method is key-value observable.
A client that observes currentSystemPresentationOptions will receive notifications when
• The client is the active application, and makes a change itself using either setPresentationOptions: or SetSystemUIMode.
• Another application is active, and makes presentation changes of its own.
• Another application becomes active and causes the active set of presentation options to change.
Key-value observing notifications are not sent when one of the above conditions occur, but has the same set of presentation options as the previously active application.
