No. FloatFrames get destroyed when they become empty.

Yes, and how you do it should be obvious.

You can bind the queries to appear at screen level in a few of the latest
releases. In the latest release, at the end of ioncore-bindings.lua, just
copy the wanted queries from genframe_bindings to global_bindings (or
put them in mplex_bindings). If there is a frame active, then the frame
will display the query, otherwise it will be displayed at screen level.
query_renameworkspace won't work, though, so you have to create a new
version of fit that looks up the workspace some other way. 
(local r=mplex_current(mplex); if obj_is(r, "WGenWS") then ... end)
