layers dialogue

On the layers dialogue, there is a small rectangular image of each layer. All lined
up vertically.
Some of the layers have a second rectangular image, to the right of the lineup. What
is the significance of the 2nd image? What is it? Where does it come from? Does it
have any use?

Thanks,
Helen

The second image would be the layer mask. Yes, it does have a use. Take a look at http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/The_Basics/ for an example of its use.
