I quickly learned to use "Save Perspective As" to keep my desired 
customizations of the default perspectives.  That way, when I got lost 
after playing around, I could avoid starting from scratch and having to 
get the size of all the view "just right" again.

A side benefit is that you can give them shorter names like "RSE" for my 
version of "Remote Systems Explorer".  It's nice to have more than one 
perspective in the shortcut bar (upper right) without having the toolbar 
flow onto a second line.
