The Run button will always do whatever it needs (or thinks it needs) to 
start the application "running" on your target. This includes:

1) opening an executable/debug file
2) gathering target communications information (debug protocol/transport)
3) loading executable into target memory (if needed)
4) "running" the target

If you don't "Open" an executable, how is the debugger to know what you 
are debugging? It still needs debug symbols (or at least minimal symbols 
from the executable).
