Here's what you do.
1. Look in your yellow pages or Thompson for a dedicated camera shop. (it has to be a dedicated camera shop for you to obtain what you will need in step 2.
2. Ask whoever answers the phone if they have any 'low-grade' developing solution.
3. If this can be obtained get some and immerse, photo and glass into a shallow tray of the stuff so it is just submerged.
4. Go and have a cup of tea
5. By the time youve made and drunk said beverage in item four you will find that your picture will slowly and painlessly be lifting and peeling itself from the glass.
All the above suggestions carry varying degrees and elements of risk to your picture. You will not harm your picture doing this by the above method.

Bring it to a photo/camera store not just a developing shop. Worth the few dollars you will pay.

There's a product called GOO GONE, but it smells like paint thinner. There's another product that's based on orange or lemon oil - it's really oily, but it works and doesn't smell as bad as Goo Gone, which smells like a strong paint thinner.
I've had good luck with saturating the gunk with Windex type cleaner.

Try heating the glass or steaming it to loosen the bond.

The best thing to use is lighter fluid on a paper towel. Always works.
