Isn't the steering wheel
supposed to turn the steering shaft?

I wouldn't know what that's like, but perhaps you have play in your steering box? What do your radius arm bushings look like?
You said your balljoints were worn out, they'll cause some of that "wondering" feeling (I think...)

I guess there is supposed to be some sort of "steering wheel lock" on it when you take the key out, but overall I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Have you worked on your front axle? Be sure to check all the lock nuts and bolts. You'd be surprised on how much a loose or tight nut would make.
Also, check all your bushings. I would replace any that looked badly cracked or weathered. I replaced all my bushings in the front at one time and that made a huge difference. I too had the same problem with the "wandering" or "play" in the steering wheel.
Or it may be none of this. It may be your steering box itself. Do you have a stock box or have you upgraded?
