How to list "invisible" Auto Drafts?

Question

I noticed that when starting to create a new post, and only attach images and then when leavning the post for some reason, it won't show up in the list post view. However when you look in the Media Library you'll see that the image is attached to "Auto Draft" and that the post really exists.

Now, I find this useful, and would like to be able to list these Auto Drafts in the post view, but I don't really know what I need to do to list them.. Ideas?

try pasting this in your theme's functions.php file

add_filter( 'parse_query', 'display_autosave_and_revisions' );
function display_autosave_and_revisions( $query )
{
    global $pagenow,$typenow;
    if ( is_admin() && $pagenow == 'edit.php' && $typenow == "post") {
        $query->query_vars['post_type'] = array('revision','post');
        $query->query_vars['post_status'] = 'any';
    }
}
