Bug#725017: closed by Markus Koschany <apo at gambaru.de> (Bug#713144: fixed in freemind 0.9.0+dfsg-3)

Thanks for checking up on that.  See a couple of comments up from me,
where I noted that I've had the same problem in freeplane.

Both the freeplane bug you mention and the upstream bug report are
worked round by exiting and restarting.  This does not work for me: in a
cleanly started freemind (or freeplane) session, having just logged in
to a fresh X session, the keyboard is simply ignored (except that
modifier keys do affect what mouse clicks do).

I'll look into this a bit more closely when I'm sober and not about to
head out on the town ;->
