When you do not persist state in
ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor.initialize() do
configurer.setSaveAndRestore(false) you always get the appliucation
default perspective from
ApplicationWorkbenchAdvisor.getInitialWindowPerspectiveId().

We looked at preventing certain perspectives to be chosen using
perspectiveShortcuts, but (using 3.2 we cannot prevent the show of
Other...). Capabilities also did not work.

In the end we dropped the perspective bar and persisting state and
created our own Perpective menu, a subclassed filtering Perspective
chooser using our own extension point to match perspective ID to user
role or allowed function, and added a Home page like perspective with a
large list of allowed perspectives that always opens on startup.
