If you want to push the start of the x-range to the left, you can do that 
easily enough (click, Edit, X-axis).

You are quite right and that's easy to do !
And I agree that the issue is more fashion-styled rather than functional . :-)
The point is that I tried the time series plot for different numbers of observations (50 - 50,000)
and gretl automatically adds the right margin for roughly 2.5% of N. Why not the left margin too ?

I can't say that I see anything wrong with the graph.  

Execute the following : same number of observations, same type of data. and compare the 2 time series plot for x.
------------------------
nulldata 5000
setobs 1 1000 --time-series
genr x = normal()
------------------------<
and
------------------------
nulldata 5000
setobs 1 1 --time-series
genr x = normal()
-----------------------
Do they look the same ?  :-\
