You should be able to click on "fix red eye for entire image" and have it be fixed automatically, or hone in on a general area.  It cannot be only the eyeball area... most people have their eyes partially closed (the area requiring fixing is not circular) and it is unrealistic to expect a general user to exactly pinpoint an eyeball.

We already have a ticket for fully automatic red-eye correction 
(http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/549).  This might be tricky to implement, 
though, so I think we probably won't get to this any time soon.

I've just created a ticket (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2171) for 
red-eye correction on non-circular areas.  Perhaps we could allow the 
user to stretch the red-eye area to be an ellipse with any 
width/height.  If you need to correct red eye on an arbitrary graphical 
region, though, I think you should probably use a tool such as GIMP 
since I don't imagine Shotwell allowing the user to select such regions.
