White Screen forever if Network down or timeout during Splash showing in Electron

[RolandMa1986]

Bug Description:

When I open Theia or reload, sometimes it shows a white screen or preloads forever. It seems that reconnection is never successful if a timeout happens before the frontend startted.

Steps to Reproduce:

One simple reproduction step is provided below, but it also happens when CPU load is high:

1. Open TheiaIDE.
2. Close the laptop during the splash screen.
3. Open the laptop.
