(Reposting - hopefully with a few of the typos fixed.)
 
Yeah.  That is the problem. 
 
I would like for there to be an x-label, e.g. "person", but I don't want the x-axis tick marks
for the facet to be labeled.  I would like to remove the facet x-axis tic mark labels.  
 
For the example below: 
VADeaths_flat_df = stack(as.data.frame(VADeaths))
names(VADeaths_flat_df) = c('Data','Person')
   
counts <- ddply(VADeaths_flat_df, .(cut(Data, breaks=fullseq(range(Data),
20)), Person), nrow) names(counts) <- c("bin", "person",
"n")
qplot(person, n, data = counts, fill = person, geom="bar",
stat="identity", width = 0.9) +  facet_grid(. ~ bin) + 
opts(axis.text.x = theme_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1, colour =
"grey60"))
 
I would like the "People" label (a.k.a., "xlab") to remain, but I would like to remove
the individual "Male Rural", "Female Rural"...
 
That is I would like the x-label, like the y-label "n", to remain. However, the x-axis text is a little cluttered so I would like to remove all that text. 
 
Thanks again.
 
(Sorry for all the previous typos.  I guess that is what happens when I turn off spell and gramar check and did not give it a good read prior to posting.  Yuck.)

The easiest way is + xlab("") or + xlab(NULL)
