Comment (by pavelevap):

 I read it once again and maybe we are not talking about the same thing?
 There is no problem when I switch from Theme1 to Theme2 and I understand
 that there will be no widgets related to deactivated plugins. But I do not
 understand why is widget missing when I am returning back from Theme2 to
 Theme1? I thought that when I switch to another theme, then all current
 widgets are saved (serialized valued in database). And so when I switch
 back (and activate plugins), then all previous widgets will be loaded and
 everything will be as it was before switch...
