gladish fails to configure jack without python-xdg installed but python-xdg is not recommended

[mchristias]

Package: gladish
Version: 1+dfsg0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

1) I open gladish in a terminal window so messages can be seen
2) I choose from menu Studio --> New Studio
3) I choose from menu Tools --> Configure Jack

A window for configuring Jack should appear but nothing happens.
Terminal shows this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/ladi-control-center", line 28, in <module>
     from laditools import _gettext_domain
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/laditools/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
     from .config import LadiConfiguration
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/laditools/config.py", line 22, in <module>
     from xdg import BaseDirectory as basedir
ImportError: No module named xdg

After installing package python-xdg the jack configure window appears normally.
But python-xdg is not a dependency or recommendation for gladish on Debian Wheezy.
