ggplot get rid of unused/empty facets

Dear all

I seek some help how to remove unused facets in ggplot

Here is my code
p <- ggplot(met, aes(x=datum, y=lsp))
p+geom_point(size=5)+geom_line()+facet_grid(.~vzorek)

As you can see, there are some empty facets. Is there any reasonably simple
way how to automatically get rid of empty facets and adjust width of
remaining facets?

I could programmatically remove empty levels of vzorek before invoking
ggplot but before are start with such approach I would like to check if
there is some solution within ggplot.

Here are some toy data.

met <- structure(list(datum = structure(c(18282, 18282, 18282, 18290, 
18290, 18290, 18296, 18296, 18296, 18304, 18304, 18304, 18311,

18352, 18352, 18369, 18369, 18369, 18375, 18375, 18375), class = "Date"), 
    vzorek = structure(c(9L, 8L, 2L, 5L, 9L, 6L, 1L, 7L, 8L,

    1L, 3L, 8L, 5L, 9L, 2L, 1L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 8L, 2L, 1L, 7L, 5L
    ), .Label = c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i"
    ), class = "factor"), lsp = c(55.3, 54.68, 53.15, 54.55,

Dear Petr,

This is not a ggplot2 solution, but you could just remove the NA rows and
drop the levels of vzorek:
met2 <- met[complete.cases(met), ]
met2$vzorek <- droplevels(met2$vzorek)

But I guess you already thought about that...!
