Well, I had not gone there, but it actually did not help. I unchecked
the Debug perspective. Now, I do not think I had to because I had
selected the perspective's icon from the top-right of the window and
select the 'Window->Close Perspective' but what-ev-er.... And quit and
re-launched eclipse and those menu items are still there.
Ok. Turns out one can use the 'Window->Close All Perspectives' menu
item and then open only the WOLips perspective and one does not have
to quit or anything and it works. Voila! No more extra menu items.
I just love eclipse. It will do absolutely everything you want it to.
One just needs to ask in exactly the right way, ignoring the 3 or 4
other ways of doing that thing that do not work, and ask two or three
times and, you know, anything is possible! Simply amazing.

Fun. O yeah. And my father-in-law convinced me to get an iPhone. (Hold
on, hold on. Must ... not ... rant about ... App Store....) Whew that
was close. The iPhone is just peachy! :-)
