Couple Gymnopedie 1 Symbol Question March 31, 2005, 12:13:52 AM by 00range

Looking at the sheet music for Satie's Gymopedie 1, I'm confused right off the bat by a couple things.
The first is a symbol I'm not familiar with, it makes it's first appearance on the first beat in the first bar. I'm thinking it's some sort of rest.
Next, on the second beat in the first bar, there's a chord, BDF, and above it is a rest. What's this rest doing there?
What key is this piece in? C# and F# would be D Major, would it not? However, to my chagrin, I'm not familiar with all of my minor scales, and I would think that this piece would be in a minor key.
Finally, and out of curiosity, what exactly is a Gymnopedie?
