What I was after (I didn't ask it clearly,) was, do you use points,
silicon, or small wood trim pieces to hold in the glass?
On square glass kitchen doors with a single pane and no muntins, I generally
use a rabbeted face frame (not dado, sorry) and silicon.
For a piece of furniture, both judiciously applied silicon to stop the
rattle, and wood trim, attached with pins.
I have yet to see an 'elegant' way to do that which doesn't involve
hours of making and mounting moulding strips.
Since there are gently curved rails at the top of each glass door that mimic
the base of the cabinet, I'm undecided which avenue I will take on these
glass doors.

If the glass guy can duplicate the slight curve with no problem, I will
route a dado after the face frames are glued up; if not, I'll give him a
square, routed out area on the back of the top rails that will accept a
rectangular piece of glass.
I wish I knew, because I have the bottom doors glued up and drying and I'm
twiddling my thumbs as we speak.
