Here are two more alternatives where you don't have to play any tricks 
with the durations (the settings for Glissando are to ensure that the 
resulting glissando gets sufficient horizontal width, otherwise LilyPond 
complains that the right edge comes before the left edge and doesn't 
typeset the glissando at all, at least not in this example. The idea 
comes from http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=826).

\relative c''
\new Voice {
  \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #4
  \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods =
                          #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  es4->\glissando
  \grace{\hideNotes
  es,
  \unHideNotes}
  r4 r2 |
  es1
}

\relative c''
\new Staff {
  \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #4
  \override Glissando #'springs-and-rods =
                          #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
  es4->\glissando

  << {\hideNotes
  es,
  \unHideNotes} \new Voice b' \rest>> r2 |
  es,1
}
