How exactly do you want the bar coloured?  I can see that this might
possibly work if the factor has only two levels, but how is a colour
supposed to encode the a categorical distribution?

Or do you mean:

dataset <- data.frame(x = c(rnorm(100), runif(100), rchisq(100, 1)), y =
gl(3, 100, labels = LETTERS[1:3]))
ggplot(dataset, aes(x = x, fill = y)) + geom_histogram(position = "fill")
