When using the straight line gliss, I usually like to have the

intervening accidental that gets in the way? What's your preferred
solution in this case? End the line before the accidental
(although sometimes spacing is very tight and this would cause the
gliss line to almost disappear)?
Hide the "real" accidental and put it in as an articulation above
the note?
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! guaranteed catastrophe.
I have to agree.
i have also sometimes had to have the whole gliss line offset
because of density and inevitable collisions (eg. chords, two-note
glisses that cross each other... cellists love those, write lots of
them).
I don't have any problem with gliss lines being vertically displaced.
They are commonly used this way even when they DON'T have to avoid
accidentals, and are instantly recognisable.
jef's other solution of loosening up the spacing a bit is good, too,
but barring that, vertical gliss displacement is the way to go.
