Nice.  But there are some issues with the behavior:

For X:
When you select a complete grid all is well, but if any of the selected plots have an un-selected plot on the same row, then it is not modified.  This prevents you from selecting a single column to collapse.  It also prevents you from collapsing any plots in an incomplete row (say you have 10 plots in three columns).

I think that the rule for X should be: if a plot is selected, and there is a selected plot above or below it, which is at least roughly aligned with it (say the corners are within ~5% of the width or so) then it should condense axis with that plot.  The rule for Y should be analogous.

If the user doesn't want the axis condensed (say, because then it wouldn't line up with its neighbour) then the user should feel free to not select it.

Also, it would be good to always have the entry in the layout mode rmb menu (even if no plots have been selected - in which case it should be there, but disabled).  The string could be changed from "Condense" to "Condense selected" to give a hint to the user.
