An iconified application uses an icon that according to the advanced CDE
user's guide
can be set with

Dtwm*clientname*iconImage: /path/to/image/file

This seems not to work with most non-CDE applications.

To get the clientname one uses xprop to find the window WM_CLASS

Firefox for example, sets its WM_CLASS to "Navigator" and to "Firefox":

[atsol@callisto ~]$ xprop | grep WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Firefox"
[atsol@callisto ~]$

So a line in .Xdefaults or .Xresources like

Dtwm*Navigator*iconImage: /path/to/image/firefox.l.pm

ought to work. Same with this line

Dtwm*Firefox*iconImage: firefox

with firefox.l.pm, firefox.m.pm and firefox.t.pm copied to $HOME/.dt/icons/

-------------------------

The reason I am looking into this is that new applications get a tiny
icon when they get iconified instead of a large
icon that CDE apps get. This is not a Firefox bug. The same happens with
thunderbird, libreoffice, gimp and many others.
All of them get tiny icons instead of large ones (48x48).

Icons for these apps can be found in my desktop_approots.tgz from my page:
