Yes, depending on what system you are using... Assuming Linux, see below.

Also look at this email by Nick Dokos from the mailing list archives: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5271 HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.257.g0dd1)
