I'm pretty sure you are discussing the "event list" below the dot-grid 
found on the non-green page.

Look the man page for xymongen where there are several options outlined:

and

my line in tasks.cfg looks like:

> CMD xymongen $XYMONGENOPTS --report --no-showemptygroups --maxrows=20 --max-eventcount=50 --max-eventtime=120 --eventignore=msgs,diskio

Yours will end up having --max-eventtime=4320
