There are essentially two types of approval. When you click "Approve", you are approving the question to appear in the section under which it was composed (Seekers of Perl Wisdom, Meditations, etc.).

When you click "Front Page", you are approving the node to also appear in The Monastery Gates.

If you approve a node for The Monastery Gates, it will also be approved for its intended section. If it is FP'ed before being "Approved", the approval nodelet will only show the name of the person who FP'ed it.

On a side-note, we should always remember that when we're approving a node, we aren't approving it for the Monastery in general, we're approving it for the section in which it has been placed by its author. If it is not on topic for the section in which it has been placed, don't approve it for that section. If it would be on-topic in another section, put it there instead. This need is most common with respect to Perl questions being posted incorrectly in PerlMonks Discussion.
