Actually no.
Sorry

Would it be possible to implement a checkbox (maybe under Window->Behavior) to control this behavior?

I just noticed the same behavior cyd ... kinda annoying, gotta agree with joe there. Putty doesn't do that btw. I am pretty sure you should be able to fix this cyd if you are based on putty 0.6

I already use the very last official PuTTY version: 0.60.

Well, I got that one here too, and it does not change the window title on minimize cyd.
That's important because I am used to be logged in to shells multiple times, as different users, e.g. root and standard users. My shell sets the window titles and thus I can see which window is which user. When I minimze Kitty, the window title is changed to just the host or ip address, which kills the ability to see which window is which user ... get me?

I'm using KiTTY 0.60.66.12 and I explicitly have titles set for my connections (Window -> Behavior). When I minimize my KiTTY windows, the task bar title, as well as the hover title, stay to what I have set it to. This is true even when I send the KiTTY window to the system tray--the hover text is what I've set the window title to.

I've tried this on Vista and XP Home with the same results. I realize it's not at nice as having-shell set titles "stick," but manually setting titles might be a good work-around (that is, predefining connections for "host1 root", "host1 otheruser", etc., with titles manually set)

I have one defined connection per host and use the GNU "screen" application to have multiple shell "tabs". I will occasionally have users logged in on different "tabs," but dynamically changing the window title doesn't really work will in this scenario.

Good luck!

I'd like to ask to implement an option to disable this behavior or use the default putty behavior instead.

On a gentoo sys update for example the xterm window title is set to the update progress like (34/45) packets, on each minimize you lose that information.

To use the default PuTTY behaviour for window title just add

[KiTTY]
wintitle=no

to you kitty.ini file.

To disable the renaming of the window title when iconify, just uncheck Window->Behaviour->Separate window and icon titles.
