If you are using Nova Launcher you can turn on the option to resize Widgets. Now this doesn't actually resize all Widgets but it takes up the same room.
Example...I use a battery icon that measures 1x1. This means it can't sit in the middle of my home screen. I "resize" it so now it measures 2x1 and leaves the battery the same size but centered on the screen.
I don't know if that helps anyone with widget problems or not but it is worth a try. Oh and on 2.1, the News and Weather widget is 4x1.
