Hi Bastian,
your locale is C, which means ASCII charset, hence no accents, umlauts and fancy stuff. Export LANG=de_DE, or [EMAIL PROTECTED], or LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, before starting FreeMind and you'll be able to enter Umlauts and the same. You can create a file freemindrc with e.g. "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" in /etc/freemind or ~/.freemind (see 'man freemind') if you don't want to change your LANG variable for other applications (but you should have similar problems with other applications).
If you don't complain too loud, I'll close this bug in the near future without further action.
MfG, Eric

Instead of german Umlauts only boxes appear when you try to enter such characters.
