I know that. It seems I forgot to increment the perspective number. But
I won't do only that if the rest is wrong too.

All of them would be better, but you can only delete the 8316 one.

The perspective is only for location, and size of the different panes.
In the frmQuery group, it only refers to the query tool.

That should not be an issue. They all have a different perspective name
(hence, the perspective-<number>). In this case, just drop the
perspective-8316.

The perspective is a whole. Either you save all locations, and sizes of
the panes of this window, or you save nothing. At least, that was the
case when I last read the wxWidgets documentation.
