although gdb can take "-" as executable path when attaching, but afterward, gdbgui still need execatable path for -file-exec-and-symbols mi command to set up source displaying, gdbgui/mi is pull model, everything is initiated from gui side, on the other hand dbxgu/gluei is push model, dbx would send enough information when necessary, so dbxgui does not need this path information.
