I used to use Freemind, which I preferred as a mind-mapping application 
because I found it graphically slicker. When I did the last Ubuntu 
upgrade (to 05.10) that broke for some reason, probably to do with it's 
reliance on Java, and so I did use kdissert for about a month.

However, I've settled on Inkscape. It doesn't have the report generation 
facilities of kdissert but is brilliant for creating a space to move 
various blocks of information round in relationship to each other (for 
my essential day-to-day mind-mapping process of organising my task list).

If you like the idea of mind-mapping but your inner designer calls out 
for a bit more colour and style than kdissert provides, consider also 
Freemind or, thinking laterally, Inkscape (or probably other solutions).
