Ok, in fact values are only shown when demo data are loaded...

The Company Configuration wizards does not display the current company info, unless you are creating a *demo* database. The reason for this is that we want the user to specify the company details explicitly, otherwise people tend to skip the wizard quickly and carry around OpenERP's address or bank account number in their production systems!

Also, this is not very annoying because this wizard should only ever be displayed once, at installation (it's never restarted once you completed it)

In demo mode you can see and reuse the demo company data just fine.
