OK, but that just affects the values on the axes---it doesn't actually
line them up, does it?

You can see what I mean by adding a caption to the Y axis of one of
these subplots, but not the other, or by running the following code:

x = 1:100;
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(x,0.1*x)
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(x,100*x)

The two subplots have the same *scale* on the X axis, from 0 to 100, but
they are not aligned with each other.  It would only work if all axes
were identical in terms of their labels.
