Simple -- make the floating sidebar the width of the page, and place the
graphic in the middle.

As to other complaints: I also wish they had the ability to graphically size
the floating sidebars, but have found that it can be quickly done by looking
at the graphic in the sidebar or draw window and glancing at the ruler --
cuts down on the trial and error a good deal.  In my work, an automatic
setting wouldn't be any faster than non-automatic -- I usually want some
extra white space on one side of the other.  The global paragraph spacing is
awkward, and I really hope they have that in the Custom Style box in the very
near future.
