Rainer,

I came across the variable org-finalize-agenda-hook, which is "run
just before displaying an agenda buffer."

So, maybe something like this in your configuration will work:

(defun rs-reset-agenda-files ()
  "Set org-agenda-files to my default values"
  (interactive)
  (setq org-agenda-files ; the following are examples, of course
	(quote
	 ("~/org/PUBLIK/work1.org"
	  "~/org/PUBLIK/work2.org"
	  "~/org/PUBLIK/work3.org"))))

(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'rs-reset-agenda-files)


What I think might then happen is that, after you run agenda custom
command kP, the variable org-agenda-files will be reset to the default
value.

Maybe?
