During the install, the gui stuff may not have been selected/installed correctly.
It's usually easy to fix...
Once you're logged in, su to root.
then:
<wait>
if you want to use gnome, or
if you prefer kde
In either case, be prepared to wait a while for apt to download and install everything, and be prepared to answer a few questions during the install.
Once everything is installed, reboot your computer, and the graphical login should appear.
