Oils are long-chain hydrocarbons. When you light a hydrocarbon it will combust to form water and carbon dioxide, usually in a very spontaneous, vigorous reaction. This is because the bonds in H2O and CO2 are more stable (lower in energy) than the bonds in the hydrocarbon and O2 from the atmosphere. So oil-based paints should burn because of the oil in them.
When you stuff the cleaning cloths (with much oil paint or linseed oil in them) in a bin, they can develop temperature up to a point where they spontaneously go on fire.
