Don't forget to set the ior in the interior. Any object behind the "glass" will 
get the effect. The light will go trough straight as an arrow unless you also 
use photons. You will need to use some aa.
Replace the light shining trough with a large area_light to give blured shadows.
You can use averaged normals whitch will give you a smoother result. If you use 
photons, the averaged normals will multiply your photons count, so, only apply 
that to one face (difference of 2 box, one with the normals and one flat) and 
keep the number of normals relatively low.
