Héhé, this is it, one of these tricks :), I'm feeling plain stupid :)

vtkGlyph3D glyph
     glyph SetInput ...
     glyph SetSource ...
     glyph SetVectorModeToUseNormal
     glyph SetScaleModeToScaleByVector

That was obvious :) The glyph has to be very simple, therefore if you 
replace the usual vtkConeSource or vtkSphereSource with a vtkLineSource, it 
does the trick. Deserves a FAQ or HOWTO, maybe one day...
