If it was working before, so it seems.

Anyway, try this:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/82652/file-association-to-unlisted-application

It basically says that you have to append a trailing "%U" at "/usr/share/
applications/freemind.deskop" file, at the "Exec" stanza, that is:

***
Exec=/usr/bin/freemind %U
***

Now the application should be listed at the "Open with..." menu so you 
can now set it as the default for that kind of file types.
