on a theme with multiple sidebars, you need to re-open the needed sidebars when leaving the widgets screen.

Your once per year visited page is others' several times per day visited page...
I've a plugin in particular, that adds a special sidebar which allows to configure widgets that can then be inserted into posts and pages. When it's around, the widgets screen is frequently used.
I don't mind enforcing the state through a plugin, but a 3-liner of pointers could definitely be useful -- this area of WP isn't the best documented.

This works well for pages that are visited often but becomes confusing when the user would visit a page only several times per year. Better to go to default view there.
