I've noticed that if i have an icon of a perspective in the bar (on top - right), if i remove the plugin which icon is related, after that i can't remove that icon button in anyway...

The only way to remove the button in that bar is reinstall the plugin, remove the button and uninstall the plugin again. 

For example : 
if you install PyDEV plugin then you insert the PyDev perspective button in the perspectives bar, when you remove that plugin you aren't be able to remove the button/icon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install PyDev plugin
2. Inserted PyDev icon in the perspectives bar 
3. Remove PyDev plugin 
4. Try to remove the PyDev icon from the perspectives bar

Perspectives bar

As you can see after removing PyDev plugin the button of PyDev remain in the perspectives bar but it doesn't have an icon anymore and you can't remove the button from the bar until you install again the plugin.
