syncthing-gtk not starting

Yesterday the ppa containing Syncthing-gtk for Ubuntu updated to version 0.9.3. Since then it doesn’t launch at all. In the terminal I get the following error:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
I StatusIcon    Using backend StatusIconGTK3 (primary)

In the system tray icon it just says “Connecting to daemon” and never connects.

Clicking “Show Window” just shows a plain window as shown below

I have this installed on two machines running Ubuntu 17.10 and neither work.

Windows here and 0.9.3 did the same. When I checked with ProcessExplorer I could see that syncthing was constantly started by Syncthing-GTK, then it exits and is started again. I tried a clean install of Syncthing-GTK 0.9.3 but that did not help. Then a clean install of 0.9.2.7 worked as expected.
