R help - Feb 2010 - R ggplot2 legend text left justify

In ggplot2 how do you justify the legend text ?
In the example below the opts(legend.text = theme_text(size = 
9,hjust=0))  changes the size of the text OK but it remains right 
justified.

mydata=data.frame(RowID=c("A","B","C"),Name=c("long
long long long
long name","short name ","medium medium
name"),Speed=c(100,140,120))
 > mydata
  RowID                          Name Speed
1     A long long long long long name   100
2     B                   short name    140
3     C            medium medium name   120
 > ggplot(mydata, aes(RowID,Speed))+ opts(legend.text = theme_text(size 
= 9,hjust=0)) + geom_bar() + xlab("Name") + aes(colour = Name) 
+aes(fill=Name)

Hi Paul,

That's a bug in the current version of ggplot.  I'm working on update
for later this week.
