The following hack should work if all boxes currently have 100% text width:
\renewenvironment{shaded}{%
\begin{center}%
\begin{minipage}[t]{.8\columnwidth}%
\def\FrameCommand{\fboxsep=\FrameSep \colorbox{shadecolor}}%
\MakeFramed {\FrameRestore}%
}{%
\endMakeFramed
\end{minipage}%
\end{center}%
}
Another possibility would be do run a script on the LyX file directly.
