	But Warp mentionned that the result is wrong also when the transparent
object is *behind* the glow, and that's true. He was right when he said that it
might be a problem of ray length (my guess).
	In the Do_Glow code, the scattering depends both on the last intersection
found (Ray->Initial) and the next one (through Depth). I would expect the glow
to depend mostly on the Frame.Camera->Location which distance is constant to the
glow, and not from Ray->Initial that may change due to transparent objects. But
replacing that is not enough, Depth should be corrected also. Yet I didn't find
how. I also wonder how refraction would work...
	Or am I completely wrong ?
	Chris, I'm sure you know the answer ;-)
