The correct answer is "you don't." It's confusing.

The less correct answer is -[NSWindow setMovableByWindowBackground:].

You're right that the Leopard release notes does not officially
deprecate textured windows. But it describes the API that was added to
support this section from the Leopard-and-later HIG:

"Important: In Mac OS X v10.5 and later, there are no brushed metal
windows. Windows that were designed as brushed metal windows to run in
earlier versions of Mac OS X should adopt the Leopard look in Mac OS X
v10.5. For the most part this is automatic. You may need to adjust
your layout so that no window-frame material is visible on the sides
of the window and you should ensure that the controls you used in the
toolbar are still appropriate. See “Window-Frame Controls” for more
information on appropriate controls and “Legacy Toolbar Controls” for
some transition advice."
