Using the GIMP, open the image, press + or - to zoom in and out, move the sliders to show the eye with the arrow keys, hit F to activate the lasso tool, select the area of red pixels in the eye using SHIFT or CTRL to include or exclude parts of the selection, and desaturate the colour from the colour menu - choosing one of the settings. I find the luminosity setting a good one.
Picasa and digiKam has the button "Red eye"-removal that you ask for. However, have you tried them on hundreds of images? My wife has, and her conclusion is 50/50 good/bad results. Why? What goes wrong? Imprecise selection of pixels (try it on a picture where the person isn't looking directly at the camera), and no ability to exclude parts of the selection.
