[GIS] How to center a map in Print Composer to the same center as in map window

layoutsprint-composerprintingqgis

I can't figure out how can I center the map in Print Composer to layer/object/map center in the same way as in map window in QGIS 1.8. Let's say I have layer which I want have in the center of the map. In map window it is pretty easy – I just click on
"Zoom to layer extent".

Unfortunately when I create map frame in Map composer, the layer is
centered on width (good) but not centered on height (I guess it is aligned
to bottom).

If I use button Set to map canvas extent in Print Composer / Item
Properties / Extents
it is again centered on width but this time aligned to
top.

I think in both cases it would be much better to have it centered. Is there
any way to have map centered in Print Composer to the same center as map in
map window?

Well, With Qgis 2.0, you can click the "Layout" menu, then "Move Content", and adjust the layers to your liking
