  It's tricky though.  There's no standard way to "launch a process X on a remote
machine Y".  Did you have a mechanism in mind?

  BTW, this kind of question makes sense to discuss on the main gdb list.
Insight is a gui wrapper that drives an underlying instance of gdb debugger.  In
the case of hitting the 'run' button, it's just sending a 'run' command to the
gdb instance, and that's probably where you'd want to add the underlying
functionality.  There are a lot more people on the main gdb list, so you'd have a
better chance of a useful discussion.  GUI-only issues, otoh, are still best
posted here.
