Unfortunately not, individual glows can only be spherical at the moment.  
But if you string enough small, dim glows together, you can get 
approximations of other shapes.

Nope, not as far as I know.

As far as I understand it (I.e. not really that well) the glow is a 
rendering shortcut which calculates the brightness of a hypothetical glow 
point based on how close to the light source the ray passes.

I suspect that someone else (I.e. Chris Huff) could explain this far 
better than I can or have.
