See http://eclipse.org/rcp/faq.html#customPrefs
and specify the following in the perspective_customization.ini file:
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_TEXT_ON_PERSPECTIVE_BAR=false
Doing it this way is preferable to changing the value programmatically,
since it allows different product entry points to have different
defaults. Of course, you may still allow the user to change the value
by using:
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().
setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_TEXT_ON_PERSPECT IVE_BAR, x);

This is not currently well supported, but is something I'd like to
address for 3.2. See the following for a workaround:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=84226
Another approach is to use a custom window layout, with your own button
bar for switching between some well-known perspectives, rather than
using the built-in perspective bar. See
WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.createWindowContents(Shell).
HTH,
Nick

I use following solution in my rcp, through looks foolish, but works
@Override
public void postWindowOpen(IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer) {
super.postWindowOpen(configurer);
IWorkbench wb = configurer.getWindow().getWorkbench();
try {
wb.showPerspective("PerspectiveA.Id",configurer.getWindow());
wb.showPerspective("PerspectiveB.Id",configurer.getWindow());
wb.showPerspective("PerspectiveDefault",configurer.getWindow());
} catch (WorkbenchException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
