R help - Oct 2011 - mgp and axis title positions

Hi all,
I consider myself a somewhat experienced user of R, but have struggled with this
for a while now. to the point where I just end up pulling the entire graph
together in powerpoint and fixing it up from there.
How does one adjust the horizontal/vertical positions of axis titles? I've
tried using mgp in the par function, but that never produces anything
satisfactory as x and y-axes are modified simultaneously. It would appear that
you can specify mgp in the axis function, but that doesn't seem to work at
all.
It is particularly frustrating when you need to adjust axis title positions
separately for x and y axes - i.e. specify mgp twice - once for each axis within
the axis function. But this doesn't seem to work - is this a bug?
Cheers,
Ben

If we knew what 'this' was, we'd be able to answer your question.  I
can always get my tick labels exactly how I want them.  I'm quite sure
I could get exactly what you want too.  It should be easy for you to
".... provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code"
as mentioned in the footer to every message on this list.
