FWIW, the Bellevue store has been pretty good about this---it has had
1x4x3 town windows in stock at the same time as glass for them and
(unfortunately green) shutters. Flowers and flower stems try to keep up
with each other (that can't be easy, when a pack of ravenous SEALUGgers
descends upon the store and says "Hey, dkpink flowers! I need a few
cups!").
The small train windows, plane windows, and the 1x4x5 windows, though,
have been conspicuous for being without glass. . .glass would definitely
be appreciated.

I assume that those are

The hub for those is
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/42610
found mostly in Jack Stone and Orient Expedition sets (and the odd Star
Wars set). In the Basketball sets in which the tire appeared in
TrLuWhite they were used as bumpers, so no hubs there.
