$ grep -ri dwmapi 
Binary file Program Files/VirtViewer v5.0-256/bin/libgdk-3-0.dll matches 

$ i686-w64-mingw32-objdump -x Program\ Files/VirtViewer\ v5.0-256/bin/libgdk-3-0.dll 
... 
DLL Name: dwmapi.dll 
vma: Hint/Ord Member-Name Bound-To 
9725c 3 DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow 
97278 15 DwmIsCompositionEnabled 
... 

Don't ask me why they are needed. 

dwmapi.dll is the "Desktop Window Manager" and from 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa969540(v=vs.85).aspx 
was introduced in Vista. 

To stub them DwmIsCompositionEnabled and DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow should return S_FALSE. 

They are used in gtk+, sources gdk/win32/gdkwindow-win32.c and ./gdk/win32/gdkscreen-win32.c.

Do we support Windows XP as client?
