 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.

 It would 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, looks for lost widget instances, etc.
