The post render effects (most of the light effects) work so, that
they first check whether something is blocking the view between
camera and light. If it is, then it won't render the effect. This
can obviously lead into many unwanted situations. E.g in animation
the aappearance of the effect is too sudden, you can't create the
effect through tranparent objects etc. Hope we will see improvements
on these issues in the future, but meanwhile compositing is your
best choice.

big deal really,... I can place it in front of the glass and get the
same effect I suppose, I'm just wondering if I need to do something
else to get it to go.
