I perform the Windows builds for virt-viewer/remote-viewer on the latest
Fedora release and this uses mingw builds of the upstream Gtk releases.
Even if someone had patches for WinXP, unless upstream Gtk accepts those
patches, they're not going to get into Fedora and thus not going to be
part of the remote-viewer.exe build.

Agreed, please just stop using Windows XP. It is not a platform we intend
to support with virt-viewer windows builds.
