Painting Windows - Have no bead?

Been in house over a year, as its been a nice day decided to do what been putting off!
Windows probably about 15 years old can see in past had been partly wood stained and had a part brown gloss applied at some stage.
However was flaking badly, so decided to sand down and repaint which I have done today. Normally paint wood and overlap on beading.
However in a lot of windows you can see the nails stinking out from the wood that holds the glass in place and for some reason doesnt seem apart from on one window to have any bead between glass and wood.
Think all windows have had replacement glass, as the window with beading has condensation in between double glazing.
Does this sound right?
But why are nails sticking out, or has it just been a bodged job.
Also if I dont bead guess rain will just root and wood joins will warp as they seem to have done now.
But how do i bead and what is best to buy
Cheers

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.
A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
