Comment (by azaozz):

 And another suggestion: currently after activating new theme we return the
 user to Appearance->Themes. There's nothing the user can do on that screen
 any more and we show a notice to check the widgets screen.

 Wouldn't it be better to redirect them to Appearance->Widgets instead (if
 the new theme supports widgets of course). That would serve two purposes:
 letting them fix/rearrange widgets that may not have been put in the right
 place and run our code in wp-admin/widgets.php that matches sidebars
 between the old and the new theme.
