Default Fixing leaded windows

Evening all,

I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix a
small leaded window that is in the top half of
a wooden stable-type kitchen door.

This door has obviously been around the block,
and bears the scars of various different bits of door
furniture. The leaded pane is the best bit - very
pretty, but it's been soldered and fixed at some point,
and the previous repairs have split, so the panes now
rattle and let the wind in. There are nine panes in all,
eight on the edges, about 4*3 inches each, with an
oval etched pane in the centre.

Since it's attractive, I'd rather not bodge it with sealant
or anything similar. Is there a 'right' way to go about this?

It's a really nice door, but do all stable doors change shape
and size whenever the wind changes direction? This one
sticks when it rains, and leaks like a teabag in the dry.

Ta muchly,

Glenn.
