Hello,

I updated an old RCP application to Kepler. Some of the preferences related to the perspective bar do not work anymore:

- SHOW_OPEN_ON_PERSPECTIVE_BAR: setting this preference to false do not hide the open perspective button (this was working before)
- PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS: the extra perspectives listed here are not shown by default on the perspective bar.

Here is how I'm settings this values (in my ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor):
	public void preWindowOpen() {

		IPreferenceStore prefStore = PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore();
		prefStore.setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.DOCK_PERSPECTIVE_BAR,
				"RIGHT");
		prefStore.setValue(
				IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS,
				false);
		prefStore.setValue(
				IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_OTHER_IN_PERSPECTIVE_MENU,
				false);
		prefStore.setValue(
				IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.SHOW_OPEN_ON_PERSPECTIVE_BAR,
				false);
		prefStore.setValue(
				IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS,
				LogAnPerspective.PERSPECTIVE_ID + ","
						+ PatternEditPerspective.PERSPECTIVE_ID + ","
						+ DebugPerspective.PERSPECTIVE_ID);
	}


Actually, my use case us that in my RCP application, all perspectives are directly visible in the tool bar (so I don't want an extra open perspective button). I only have 3 of them and this is much more convenient for the user.

Should I open a bug report for this ?
Thanks

Certainly, we're keen to fix regressions like this one. Would it be better if we found a way to hide the default perspective switcher as well ?

Ok, I've open a bug here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=423136

Not sure if this has to go under e4 -> UI or under Platform -> UI...

I currently do not need this but I could see that as a potential useful feature.
