On the website http://www.youngcomposers.com I found this interesting trombone slide chart which composers can use to know what slurs and slides a trombonist can make sound good.
The direct links is: http://www.abearnamedflint.com/trombone-gliss.pdf (400kb)
Take a look at it and distribute it to composers you know!
I can make good glissando's on my tenor trombone in range from the low F (6th position) to the F 2 octaves higher (1st or 4th position). The hardest part of glissando's for me is following the pitch with my lips when I go from low to high. The other way around is easier. I think that when my range in the high notes starts to get better this will get better too. For glissando specifically I'm practicing it by playing the glissando from A (6th position) to F (1st position) faster and faster.
