you don't happen to have autosave turned off or something somehow do you?
(strange but it could happen)

do you mean on the desktop or when you minimize them?
to do it for minimization you can use windowmatches.  there is a
predefined macro for doing that:  

USE_ICON_IMAGECLASS_FOR_CLIENT_TITLE(title, iclass)

where "title" is the title of the window, and "iclass" is the name of
an imageclass that you want to use for the icon.
