Neither one is a truly cyclic graph of the kind you need for generalized networks and RDF type applications. Have a look at http://cmap.ihmc.us/conceptmap.html which is a free Concept Map tool. I think that mindmaps are a sort of informal light weight version of Concept Maps, which are a more formal / full system of knowledge mapping. And they involved cyclic graphs. I might try and make a graph style editor for nodes in leo-qt. I glued a tk-graph editor on to leo-tk, but it wasn't very pretty (the graphed.py plugin). I made a simple graph editor on a GTK canvas and it really wasn't hard, so I don't suppose it will be hard in qt either. Having said all that, you say "...key to moving towards something more like an operating system", and not knowing what you mean by that, it may be you have some other aspect of mindmaps in mind. To me leo seems much closer to being an "operating system" than FreeMind didn, but (a) I don't like Java, and (b) I haven't looked at freemind for a few years, so that may be why.
