 Replying to [comment:52 alexvorn2]:
 > When switching to a new theme we can insert default widgets with their
 setting OR to take from the previous theme. So the user will not be
 required to re-create all of their widgets.

 Taking widgets from the previous theme is the problem being addressed in
 this ticket. If there is to be an option (and UI) to reset widgets to a
 theme's defaults, then this should be tackled in #38624.
