If I'm not mistaken one of the first action of the launcher (when he starts after a fresh install) is to download
latest templates from the internet. This might not work in all cases!
This "first time calling the internet" makes it impossible to use PharoLauncher behind a proxy (for instance within a
corporate setup) right after installation.
As the proxy is not yet setup it fails to connect, the launcher image does not come up and one is not able to reach the
settings page to configure the proxy. Tried on Windows - Pharo exe is running but image is not showing up and hang up. As UI is not showing it is not possible to go to the settings.
It would be nice if the launcher would have a kind of "First time" setup where one gets asked if the Launcher tool
is operating on a system that requires proxy settings or not.
