The xstory module, when installed under Drupal 4.4.0, seems to work okay except for one thing. Its name does not appear in the list of modules to enable or disable, nor in the administrative navigation menu. The xstory description and checkboxes for enable and throttle *do* appear. And if you enable it, you can manually go to the admin page for the module and change its settings.

Inspection of the code suggested that it was missing the xstory_node_name() function, but adding that in my local copy didn't seem to help.

Anyone have suggestions? Below is the added function in my local copy.

function xstory_node_name($node) {
  return t("xstory");
}

I can make the word "xstory" temporarily appear in the admin nav menu by manually updating the "system" table in MySQL, because the "name" column was empty for the relevant row. But the change won't persist; the moment I refresh the module list page (even *without* submitting any form data), the core modules somewhere do an update to that table that reverts the field to empty.

Continuing to beat my head against this wall. ;-)

xstory was only released for Drupal 4.2.0, the author seems to have dropped off the Drupal project, it is unlikely to be updated to current Drupal. Postponing this untill somebody else wants to maintain this module. It would be a good idea to remove this project form Drupal.org.
