According to bug 54283, the primary feature's perspective is being ignored.
It brings up the resource perspective instead.
If -perspective is used, it brings up both the resource perspective and the
specified perspective.

This is a regression from 2.1.
Comment 1 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-05-12 22:46:22 EDT 
This was caused by bug 52515 -- the plugin_customization.ini file was just not
being read.

I've also clarified the spec for
WorkbenchAdvisor.getInitialWindowPerspectiveId() to refer to the preference:

	/**
	 * Returns the id of the perspective to use for the initial workbench window.
	 * <p>
	 * This method is called during startup when the workbench is creating 
	 * the first new window. Subclasses must implement.
	 * </p>
	 * <p>
	 * If the {@link IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants#DEFAULT_PERSPECTIVE_ID} preference
	 * is specified, it supercedes the perspective specified here.
	 * </p>
	 * 
	 * @return the id of the perspective for the initial window
	 */
