Desktop 1.4.10 doesn't work in Debian 9 (Stretch)

I’ve been using Cryptomator on Win 10 systems with no problem, but I’d like to add it to my Linux desktop system. Unfortunately, the .appimage file that’s provided for the 1.4 tree doesn’t work on my system.

Using the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

I’ve added the appropriate file (& made a symlink so I don’t have to type quite as much to start it) in my path, and have made it executable. When I try to run it, I get a bunch of messages in the terminal window, and then the UI appears. Unfortunately, everything in the UI doesn’t respond - I can’t even use the X in the upper right to close it - I have to go back to the terminal window and cntrl-C out.

Here’s what I get:

$ ls -la /usr/local/bin

The very last line (“Goodbye”) was the response when I pressed the cntrl-C to terminate the program.

Any ideas why this isn’t working under Debian, and how to get it going?
