There's no way to fix that in the .shape file currently.  It is set
explicitly in objects/custom/custom_object.c:custom_create(), where the
width is set to constant values.  It would make sense to use the object's
own size, if one is given.  If you can add that yourself, a patch would be
welcome, otherwise a bugreport on bugzilla.gnome.org would make us more
likely to pick up the idea when one of us has time for it.
