Screen shot 1 is normal login screen (no GUI interface).
Screen shot 2 is the normal X window interface - if you loaded Gnome, then you can have it start by going into screen shot 1 and type
echo "exec gnome-session" > $HOME/.xinitrc

Then run startx and instead of the basic X window you should get the 'prettier' Gnome Windows. I don't recall if the same command would work with kde or what the kde session would be as far as replacing gnome-session with ? for kde.

And, due to your question, I now have work to do since I just discovered my FreeBSD isn't booting at all. Well, still have Windoze and Fedora.
