Depending on the glass surface, you can keep it moist with some turpentine and let it soak in, or try vegetable oil or even orange juice if you are worried about adjoining finished surfaces (painted or stained). Any of these methods you will need to let soak in for some time, possibly an hour or overnight. A straight-edged razor blade works well on flat (window) glass.
Linseed oil is made from the dried ripe seed of the flax plant. :-)
Boiled linseed oil can be dried effectively by adding drying agents such as metallic salts or metal oxides, which help speed up the oxidation process. This process creates a film on the surface of the oil, allowing it to dry faster and form a protective coating.
Honestly I don't think you CAN get linseed oil off of anything. I know people who have found dried linseed oil paint in their hair 2 months (and dozens of showers) after leaving a jobsite. Linseed oil does one thing very well- it permeates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal. Getting it off your skin is tough enough using paint thinners, turpentine, etc, and really you're just diluting it (oh, and it's being partially absorbed into your skin too).
Denatured alchohol will remove the dried linseed oil from metal, just don't get it on any wood.

To effectively use linseed oil over paint to enhance the finish and durability of your project, apply a thin layer of linseed oil over the dried paint using a brush or cloth. Allow it to dry completely before applying additional coats if desired. The linseed oil will help protect the paint and provide a glossy finish.
