I had a similar problem, and Paul Murrell sent me a workaround:
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/104038.html
"You can capture the ggplot drawing as a grid grob (gTree), edit that (no
drawing occurs to this point), and then draw it ..."
Hadley realized that this is a bit awkward, and it could be there is a better
solution in the post-christmas revision.
