Actually in the pic above, the little dryrot crack running along the gasket is in the "hinge" for the lock that holds the glass in tight. If this get's bad enough, about the only thing that holds the glass in is the fact that the gasket has gotten hard. It will probably leak, and if not al the way into the interior, it will lwak on the outside so that water sets in the gasket and rusts out the lip that the gasket goes over on the frame. I would at least pop out the glass and replace the gasket when you repaint to inspect for rust and paint this problem area.
