 Replying to [comment:2 jane]:
 > We will not redirect to the widgets screen, as that would be unexpected
 behavior.
 The reasons for this were listed on the ticket the suggestion was
 originally made on, but don't remember which one it was. Instead of a
 redirect, my expectation (based on conversations with several core devs)
 is that at some point we will make a 'changing themes flow' that instead
 of being a go-to-all-these-screens kind of experience will be more of a
 guided wizard so that the act of activation actually has several steps,
 with updated widgets etc before going live.

 I would like to close this as wontfix, but will wait for another core team
 opinion or two in case there are radically different ideas that haven't
 come to light yet.
