making private posts count toward post totals in categories?

  • Is there a way to have private posts count toward the post count total displayed after each category in the category list? That is, if you have the optioncount attribute of wp_list_cats turned on (as I do), it will create the list of categories like so:

    Category A (21)
    Category B (7)
    Category C (32)

    Where the number in () corresponds to the number of posts in that category. However, that number doesn’t count private posts, even if I’m logged in. I’m organizing a bunch of personal information on my blog, and I’d like to be able to see, at a glance, how many posts are really in those categories. If they only count when logged in, that’s fine too.
