Every time I launch Eclipse I drag the toolbars to the order I want them. It never saves this. How do I permanently reorder my toolbar?

In Eclipse, I can undock a panel and move it to my other monitor (making it easy to compare two pages at the same time. However, in Aptana, I can split the window's, but it won't let me pull the panel out to my other monitor. Is there a plugin I can install that will allow me to do this?
Update
I have Aptana 3.3.1, and I can detach a panel just fine (the console panel for example), but I want to be able to take a file that is in the editor, and move it to my other screen.
Click Window -> new Window.
You can then close all the unneeded panels in the new window, drag it over to the second screen and drop in your editor(s) there.
Hope that helps!
What version of Aptana are you using? In my 3.3.1, I can detach a panel and drag it to my second screen by right clicking on the panel name and choosing 'Detached' or by just dragging it away from the main window.
I have a condition using which I display an entry in the toolbar. I use
menuContribution + command + visibleWhen to display this entry. As soon as I switch to another perspective my entry in the toolbar vanishes even though I have that project/project node selected in my project explorer.
Is it because I use
<visibleWhen> <with variable="selection"> in my plugin.xml ?
How can I keep my toolbar entry visible even if perspectives are switched ,at least it should display in certain fixed perspectives if not all of them....
I want to avoid using actionSets to display my entry in the toolbar as they are not friendly with the propertyTester I am using.
Any help in this regard will be really appreciated,
Thanks !
I am guessing when you shift perspectives, the selection is lost and that is the reason your contributions are not visible. Even though in the project explorer view (or something), the selection is present, it would sometimes be in grey shade indicating no selection. You need to handle selection via code, not extension points.
I'm trying to hide Eclipse menu bar to save some screen real estate. I found I can do this using perspectives but that would permanently take out the menu from that perspective. The behavior that I want to get is something along of auto-hide, so that the menu remains hidden until I hit ALT+F for example or any other ALT key combo.
Is there's a setting or a plugin that can do this?
Thanks!
This is just a work around. Create two perspectives.
First one named - With Menu.
Second one named - Without Menu.
In the "Without Menu" perspective remove all menu items and Save.
To create the effect of hiding and showing, switch between perspectives by using
Ctrl+F8.
Theres a fast view option- just right click the tab and select Fast View. It'll bring the entire window down to the eclipse taskbar. You can recover the window by just clicking on it's icon.

Have a look here Is there a Macro Recorder for Eclipse? You could set up the macro so respond to ALT+F possibly.
In my RCP app, I contribute several items to the main toolbar. The easy question now is: How do I make Eclipse lay them out so that they appear in a second row, just under the normal toolbar? Or can I add an additional toolbar that appears just under the main bar? Right now, they just appear somewhere between the other items contributed by other plugins. I tried a lot of stuff and searched a long time, couldn't find any answer though.
I'm afraid the main eclipse toolbar is beyond programatic control, it is entirely up to the user how he arranges the items. I've tried similar to arrange perspective buttons with no success.
I notice that once I get my eclipse views right where I want them, when I close out and reopen eclipse I find everything disorganized again. Is there any way to preserve my preferred position for all views in a given perspective?
