Screenshot - Java perspective

Scenario:
- Open a new workspace
- close Welcome part
- switch to CVS perspective
- open Welcome screen (Help -> Welcome)
- switch to Java perspective
- close Welcome part

The Java perspective stays empty and unusable afterwards, even reset perspective does not work. The CVS perspective also gets in a weirs state after this.

It seems to be possible to get back the perspective with some combination of showing / closing of the Welcome part, however I am not sure that really gets it back in a sane state.

I can no longer reproduce this issue in Eclipse 4.5 M4.
