I glossed the kitchen and bathroom woodwork around the windows
yesterday. The kitchen window is fine but 24hrs later the bathroom

extended period of time for it to dry?

Was it an old tin of paint? The driers, which are organometallic compounds
to catalyse the crosslinking of the paint resins have a habit of going off
with time.
