Daniel, the reason it's redirecting you to the page you were on is
because you are calling FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage() to
log the user on from your Logon.aspx page, no? This, as its name
implies, redirects the user back to the page they came from.

Using Reflector - http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ - you can see that
this method simply calls FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(), and then
manually does a Response.Redirect(). So, if you want to send users to
Default.aspx from your Logon page, when they login, instead of using
RedirectFromLongPage(), use SetAuthCookie() and then
Response.Redirect("Default.aspx")

Here's a link to the technical docs for FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie():
