Is there a way to control the width of a caption of a wrapped figure?
I think in Latex you can specify this independently of the width of
the graphics in the wrppaed figure, but how do I do it in Lyx?
The current Lyx leaves too much white space around the figure, because
the caption is much wider than the figure.

I can't reproduce that.
When my figure is smaller than the caption and I adjust the width of the
wrapfigure by the LyX-Dialog, the caption is properly split up in
several lines of text.
Looking into the documentation of wrapfigure (at the end of
wrapfig.sty), it says:
Parameter "#4" (the second required parameter) is the width of the figure
or table. Given the way that \LaTeX\ puts just about everything into boxes
with the current line-width, the width parameter will take precedence over
whatever natural width the figure has. In particular, the caption is
always
typeset with the specified width.
So I don't think the whitespace around the figure is controled by the
length of the caption.
I could imagine that the horizontal dimension of your
wrapfig-environment is set up too big and your picture is left- or
right-aligned, that could mislead to the impression you have about the
caption.
I hope that gets you any further, regards,
Florian
