While your email was written, I submitted further information too
:-)

Here is additional analysis:

I removed ~/.freemind completely and tried to open one of my former
mindmaps. So clean config, probably old mm-file-format.

Then I get:

,----
| vk at gary ~2d % freemind test.mm
| Checking Java Version...
| java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/vk/.freemind/auto.properties (No such file or directory)

| Panic! Error while loading default properties.

`----

Interesting fact: freemind asks for converting the document format *after* the
panic message was written to stdout.

I also attached my test mm file.
