If I remember past discussions, Len flare and glow sphere stuff does
not work through a transparent object. I think you have to have an
unobstructed path between the camera and the light. Putting the bulb
in front of the glass does not work well for animation, and even in
some shots...
You might want to try an area light inside the glass, and then see if
glare works.
This would work with multi-pass rendering, of course, but you'd have
to composite the stuff together.
Depending on your lighting effects, you *might* be able to make a
picture of a light in the middle, then put it as a texture on the
glass of the lamp, there's a lot of angles where this won't work,
though.
The other option is to leave the glass out, and make the light sphere
big enough, or make the light bright enough, that the lack of a glass
is not seen. Not what you had in mind, but if my supposition about
the light sphere and lens flare is correct, you may be stuck with it.

I wonder what caustics might do in this case.....
