I apologize for missing this discussion... I am in the middle of writing my thesis so I am under pressure to finish :)
The idea of having a "reset" button is a quick fix but may be more thought-out solution would be in order.
Is there any work in progress or discussion about defining styles for objects? Something along the lines like paragraph style in Scribus and others? Would it even make sense? What attributes would be "styleable"?

My problem is that I have MANY clones which would mean that I would have to manually select every one of them and reset matrix. This is almost as much work as redo the marking again..
This sounds like a "fixed size clone" problem. You want the clones to move and rotate but not change their size (like when you set the width of a line).
We had this discussion a few days ago. I posted a comment that it would be nice to be able to "fix" certain aspects of an SVG object (like the line width) or to modify them proportionally.
Maybe this idea could be extended to clones or templates or libraries of objects which can be added but which should not scale.
A quick solution would be to write a script in Python or a similar language which reads the XML, fixes the values and writes the result back.
