Why don't you
1) Create a frame where you want the picture to go,
2) Click outside and then inside the frame,

You can then resize the frame and/or picture as you desire.
That produces a default frame with an empty paragraph
inside, above which I'd insert the picture. Then I'd add a
caption to the frame and delete the empty paragraph. Then
I'd reformat the default frame to match the layout I want,
a process which looks like it could get downright tedious
after the first few hundred pages.
Is there a blindingly obvious way to set the default frame
attributes that I just haven't discovered?
Use a Frame style. Modify the default Frame style to suit your
requirements.
See Chapter 7, "Working with Styles" in the Writer Guide for more
information about Frame styles.
