Default To glue or not to glue

In the tool chest I'm making, I have the top divider made with several sections of poplar. Should I glue the sections to the rails, the center and end sections to the rails, just the center section (it has a divider that attaches to it), or just leave them all unglued to compensate for swelling and shrinkage? Whew.

I agree. Raised and flat panels need to free float. You can buy space balls to keep them centrally located from many places.

The panel isn't one that will nessessarily show as I'll be putting felt on it, but I want to keep the divider stile stable. I glued that stile only. The end stiles will be glued to the carcase of the chest, and the rest will float.
Thanks guys.
