[Seaside] Seaside Still has an issue in a clean Pharo6 image

[Tim Mackinnon]

Thanks Sven - I'd also missed the fact that you right click on the seaside control panel to add a server - although I think it's better to learn how to programmatically script this stuff anyway.

For the deprecation walkback - it seems that default seaside code in a fresh image is relying on #name in object for its configuration screens. As there is WAObject, this might be a viable fix - but conscious that I am still getting back up to speed on all this stuff I will bow to the experts, and try and learn from the responses.

Do I need to provide my own “autostart” class if I want to try pharocloud (I’m guessing there is a startUp method somewhere that I need to override?)
