If you are talking about the “Front Page Options” then this will not show the category description on the front page, since you are able to choose more than one category for the front page.
The category description only shows on category archive pages.
You can probably show the category description on the front page using the category description function:
<?php echo category_description( $category_id ); ?>
You would need to use a Graphene action hook widget area and put the above code into a PHP widget. Not at all difficult, really–you just need to substitute the appropriate category ID for $category_id. Read my tutorial here:

That will tell you how to set up the action hook widget area. If you need more help, let us know.
Actually, I just set this up on my test blog in about 10 minutes. You can see the results here:

I used the “graphene_after_slider” widget area in “includes/theme-slider.php”
I probably will do a tutorial in a few days on how to accomplish this. Let me know if you are interested.

thanks
