Default Window Repair Question: Glaze or Wood Framed?

My house was built in 1984. I have windows which consist of 6 indivdual
small glass windows about 8" x 5" each on the bottom window and the same on
top in a window frame. Each window is filled, or at least was filled, with
argon gas or the like when the house was new. Some of them now have leaked
and are a white haze color. I don't want to get totally new windows. What
I want to do is repair the ones that have leaked. I've been looking on the
net and on tv about how to glaze windows, etc. Each time I see it involves
glazing. I look at the exterior of each window and it looks like each of my
windows has a small wooden frame around each one window..kind of like a
picture frame. Is this possible? They have several coats of paint on them,
so I can't see if there are any nails or recesses for nails. I haven't torn
into one yet, but I wanted to see if anyone knew whether windows where made
like this. I may end up having to buy an electric miter saw, because if
they are each framed with wood, I know I can't get them off w/o breaking
them. Thanks in advance.
