I agree with this.  It's trivial to grab just the script name using any
string parsing or regexes on these paths.

And thinking outside the scope of just Zenmap usage, providing the full
paths could allow any external programs to do something with these
scripts without the overhead of figuring out where they are (which may
be impossible for custom scripts without a special option).  I'm not
sure what all somebody may want to do with it, but it has potential.
