Bug#873664: gladish fails to configure jack without python-xdg installed but python-xdg is not a dependency

[mchristias]

Package: gladish
Version: 1+dfsg0-5.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

To reproduce the bug:
     1) Open gladish
     2) Choose from menu: Studio --> New Studio
     3) Give any name and press <Enter>
     4) Choose from menu: Tools --> Configure Jack

A window should appear with jack configuration but nothing happens, so the
user can not configure jack.
If you start gladish from a terminal and follow the same steps, after
clicking "Configure Jack" this message appears:

JACK configure request
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 python-xdg, gladish shows jack configuration normally.
So, perhaps python-xdg should be a dependency or, at least, a recommendation for gladish?
