Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Fix Released

Bug description:
I have installed ubuntu karmic from scratch via the alternate CD (no gnome, only openbox, all packages installed manually to eliminate bloat).  After downloading the .deb packages for openshot and dependencies, I noticed that openshot crashes on startup with this message:

$> python /usr/share/openshot/openshot.py
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/openshot/openshot.py", line 65, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/openshot/openshot.py", line 52, in main
    from classes import project

  File "/usr/share/openshot/classes/messagebox.py", line 20, in <module>
    from xdg.IconTheme import *
ImportError: No module named xdg.IconTheme

I installed the package python-xdg from apt and everything was fine.  This package evidently needs to be added to the .deb file as a dependency.  I assume its simply already present in a default ubuntu install, however it is still worth listing as a dependency just in case people have done an accidental removal, etc.
