Thanks for the tip Curt. However, unless I am missing something, the 'Default View Bar' perspective that you describe would not restore the view bar universally. Or putting it another way, the perspective would set the view bar to a fixed, saved state, but not restore the saved view bar settings across all perspectives. With the clear button, the view bar settings revert back to what has been saved for the perspective that is active at the time.
