Oh, okay, I see the problem... You're using something like gdbserver (or 
similar type thing). Insight thinks you're using a native target (which 
is true), but you are not using the local system.

So the mis-feature is that the Run menu should change if the target 
settings are set to use anything but a native target (e.g., "exec").

In that case, it looks like you're out of luck until this is mess gets 
straightened out. I won't make any guarantees, but I'll put it on my 
ever-growing TODO list.
