I like glass much better. Instead of using cabinet style slots for your
glass panels, try using those plastic clip/bracket thingies sold at all
hardware stores for the purpose of hanging mirrors. That way the edge of
the glass is exposed, and you can get a putty knife in to break the
propolis seal without too much flexing.  Be sure to get clips for the
right glass thickness.  Another good trick is squirting a thin bead of
vaseline between the glass and wood with a syringe after you clip it in
place.  This seems to be a good proactive measure against propolizing.
