Problem Description: 
When the user invokes Intel® Performance Tuning Utility by running $(ptu_home)/eclipse/eclipse, the user may meet error message like as "Could not restore workbench layout..." 

Root-cause:
The reason is that the user has installed VTune(TM) Analyzer and ran it already, now selected the workspace of Intel® Performance Tuning Utility, which is same of VTune(TM) Performance Analyzer's workspace ($(user_home)/workspace as default directory for both products).  So all contents from VTune(TM) Analyzer's workspace can't be used/interpreted by Intel(R) Performance Tuning Utility
 

Solution:
Suggest to use the workspace of Intel(R) Performance Tuning Utility in other place, like as /tmp/$user/ptu/workspace, etc.
