You probably have to ensure that your runtime workspace is clean.
Perspective settings are typically adminstrated in some lazy
manner. Indeed the method createInitialLayout of your perspective
factory is only called once, if you have setSaveAndRestore enabled.
Alternatively, if your RCP app publishes the "Reset Perspective"
action, a possible fix is to invoke this action.

Generally I recommend to use the ext.pt.
"org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions" to perform this kind of
perspective specific layouting. Just add the element
"perspectiveExtension" (and specify it's targetId, which
corresponds to a given perspective factory id), add a subelement
"view" and there you can practically all view specific layout
settings.
