Cocoa app windows automatically resize on dual monitors

I've never noticed this before installing Mac OS 10.2.5, but it's a nice touch:

If you are running dual monitors of two different resolutions, and have a window open on one screen that is too tall for the smaller screen, moving the window to the other screen causes it to automatically resize to fit the other monitor. I have found this to work in Safari and many other Apple apps, but it doesn't seem to work in iTunes 4, the Finder, or in any Carbon apps.
