Yes, but it only works on emacs 22, not on emacs 21.  In debian based
distributions (including ubuntu), you can get emacs22 as
"emacs-snapshot".  

This should probably be in the documentation.

You want the option "no-wait" to emacs-client.  I get this by saying:

export LYEDITOR=emacsclient.emacs-snapshot --no-wait +%(line)s:%(column)s 
%(file)s

in my .bashrc file.
