How can I align X axis tickers of all subplots in a figure?

| 
| Please notice that in both graphs X axis has the same range 0-3.
| Please also notice that one axis is more compressed than the other.
| 
| These two graphs are places in a single figure for easier viewing and
| comparison. However due to misalignment of the X axis the comparison is
| difficult.
| 
| Is there a way to align the X axis values?

I think this problem is fixed in the current development sources.  I
don't think there is a simple fix for Octave 3.0.x.
