Re-sort list of vectors

If all vectors in the list have the same length, why not use a matrix?  Then
you'd just transpose the matrix if you need to.  If you really have to have
it as a list, here's one possibility:
x <- list("1"=c(a=1, b=2, c=3), "2"=c(a=4, b=5, c=6))
x
$"1"
a b c 
1 2 3 

$"2"
a b c 
4 5 6
as.list(as.data.frame(t(matrix(unlist(x), nrow=3))))
$V1
[1] 1 4

$V2
[1] 2 5

$V3
[1] 3 6

Hi.
Can anyone suggest a simple way to re-sort in R a list of 
vectors of the
following form?

input
$"1"
	a	b	c
	1	2	3
$"2"
	a	b	c
	4	5	6

Output should be something like:
"a"
	"1" 1
	"2" 4
"b"
	"1" 2
	"2" 5
"c"
	"1" 3
	"2" 6

I've been futzing with mapply(), outer(), split(), rbind() 
and so on but
haven't found an elegant solution.

Thanks,
Jan.

P.S. E-mailed CCs of posted replies appreciated.
