ggopt(strip.text = function(variable, value) paste(variable, value, sep="= "))

I know it's a pain but I think emacs users need to change their ways
(and default settings) because as time goes by I think you'll see
increasing numbers of packages using _ instead of . to prevent
conflicts with S3.  It would be nice if R had a standard convention
for separating words in functions.
