Hi Milan, thanks for the response, I guess grid.arrange does't really serve
the purpose I want(or maybe my grid using level just limits the usage..),
like mentioned by Baptiste.

I really appreciate the awesome work you have done for add-ons of ggplot2 ~
and yes, that would be very helpful if you could send me the align.plots()
function offlist, even though I am not sure if it can handle complicated
case, like when the top plot is faceted with strip labeling and the bottom
plot is not. But I guess it should solve lots of cases I have here. or I
could look into your code and try to do some extra hack. (might ask for
help from you later :))

Could you please point me to some specific function in git for aligning
ggplot2 graphics? thanks a lot.
