R ggplot2 stacked barplot, defining bar colors

I'm very close to what I want to achieve but can't find a way to add the finishing touch to my graph. Here's what I have, with foo data and code to produce the graph.
Melted data from the reshape package:

mdf <- structure(list(v1 = structure(c(1L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 
10L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 6L, 7L, 8L, 9L, 10L, 2L), .Label = c("ind1", 
"ind10", "ind2", "ind3", "ind4", "ind5", "ind6", "ind7", "ind8", 
"ind9"), class = "factor"), v2 = c(2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 
4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 4), variable = structure(c(1L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("v3", "v4"), class = "factor"), value = c(0.8, 
0.7, 0.7, 0.6, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.3, 0.9, 0.8, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3, 0.4, 
0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.7, 0.1, 0.2)), .Names = c("v1", "v2", "variable", 
"value"), row.names = c(NA, -20L), class = "data.frame")

Graph :

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mdf,aes(x=reorder(v1,v2),y=value,fill=factor(v2))) + geom_bar(stat="identity",color="black")

enter image description here Now I need to color the top stack of each bar differently, say with some transparency or event color all the top stack grey. Can I do that with the current structure of my data set or should I consider reshaping my data differently ?

Thanks

I would suggest to use geom_bar() twice - first, plot all data and set fill="grey" then in second geom_bar() use only subset of data where variable is v3 (bottom bars) and for those use fill=v2.

ggplot(mdf,aes(x=reorder(v1,v2),y=value)) + 
        geom_bar(stat="identity",color="black",fill="grey")+
        geom_bar(data=subset(mdf,variable=="v3"),
              aes(x=reorder(v1,v2),y=value,fill=factor(v2)),
               stat="identity",color="black")
