sorry, you did not get me right:
I dont't have the IWorkbenchPage, that is my problem.
Again, if I use
aWorkbenchWindow.getPages();
I get only _one_ (the at last started perspective) page.

Situation:
- the workbench has 3 perspectives opened
- PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getPages() always 
returns only _one_ page although there are 3 perspectives started in 
that window.

That seems to be a problem since 2.0.

So my problem is I cannot get the right page so I cannot call findView().

Thanks,

Chris
