They're all gone?

If the characters potrait disapears during battle what does this mean, I read it means they die permentaly? is this true, if so, how is this different from dying normally... weird term of words really

Well, in some cases, you can ressurect them, but except that, they're gone.

see ya!

There was 2 ways that I have seen the portrait disappear:

Flesh to Stone - Will petrify your person and remove them from the party. You can de-petrify (?) them and then get them to join you again.

or

Disintigrate - Bye Bye, never to be seen again. (kinda like Drow equipment)

That is whey I love to use that Q key (quick-save)

It has to do with how badly they were whacked. Disappearing completely is the same as totally chunking a monster. I think it happens if the hit will reduce the HP's to less then -10.

Neosmeg,

if you have Jaheira in your party when you find Khalids body in the initial dungeon, she suggests that there is a point beyond which the damage to a body makes resurrection impossible.

If a person is hit by a disintigrate spell or smashed for so much damage that they burst into chunks then they're gone for good.

Other effects that make a portrait disappear (flesh to stone, imprisonment, etc) can usually be reversed, one way or another.
