I would expect a functional "pick white"-type colour correction function
without any question in any decent photo editor. Using the existing
colour correction tools isn't difficult, but somehow the results are not
good. Probably part of it is my fault, but I didn't find a set of
operations which gibe acceptible results, after several tries.

Ack^3. I have every intention to, though meanwhile I'm somewhat stuck. I
had hoped Linux photography was further advanced.

There's a tutorial on that on gimpguru.org, which at first glance seems
a superb teaching site. However you can't compare a white balance
correction (simple algorithm taking about 2 simple parameters) with red
eye removal (more complicated algorithm with a select-region problem),
which I therefore wouldn't lump under basic functionality. Mightily
handy though if it was there and worked...
