Is there a legend for object icons in the GECK?

I don't know if this is a weird question or not but I was wondering if there was some kind of 'legend' that might tell me what all the object icons mean:

I'm thinking it must be in the GECK somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. The reason I ask is because I'm a bit daft and also because sometimes objects don't behave or display the way I might expect them to (and they usually have different icons if that is the case). It would be nice to have a reference so I know what properties I can expect from certain 'types' of objects. Anyone able to help me out?

Maybe a better example would be:

Some of these things can't be dragged into the Camera window and added to the level... so I'm not sure what they do.

Well I hate to say it, but this is a very silly question. If you would have taken the time to take a look at the GECK instead of trying to jump in feet first, then you'd realize that every item type has it's own icon. It even tells you what kind of item type it is in the column right next to the icon in that image you posted. The GECK is a fairly complex piece of software and if you don't take the time to learn a few of the basics, then you're going to have a very confusing time of things.

I actually did look in the GECK, however there isn't anything specifically about the icons, which was why I asked. I was however able to match up the "form type" with several GECK entries which has been sufficient.
