Okay, I'm trying to figure out what all the information in the little
pictures next to people's name when in Battle.Net mean.  This is what
I've figured out so far:

1) Type of picture:  Class (Warrior/Rogue/Mage)
2) Number: Current Level
3) Red Dots:  Number of times player has killed Diablo

So, what do the color of the frames and the color of the "clothes"
mean?  I've seen dark gold, light gold, gray, and red.  Any others?

The initial color of frame and clothes depend on your class.  Mages have
red frame, while warriors have silver frame.  I forgot about rogues. 
Once you get three dots, all class will get golden frames and clothes. 
I am pretty sure about this.

You only get a red dot for each level of difficulty that you have
killed Diablo on - e.g. one for Normal, one for Nightmare, one for
Hell - this is regardless of the number of times you kill him at each
level of difficulty.

I'm not sure about the frame colors except that when you get 3 dots,
your frame becomes gold.

When a character frame and picture are silver/off-white, I believe this
means they are playing Diablo shareware

Gray frame is someone using the shareware version.

Just two add a little info, if you can get to level 30 without killing
Diablo once, which isn't such a hard task to do, and then you kill him
on hell difficulty, you will get all three dots, even though you've
only killed him once.

This isn't speculation, this is fact; I have seen it and done it
myself.

You don't get one dot for each mode of difficulty that you have played where 
Diablo has been killed. You can get all three dots at once just from being on 
lvl 16 when Diablo dies in Hell mode.

How then do you account for the red box?

My theory is this:
Red = has only ventured in Normal Mode
Gray = has ventured into Nightmare Mode
Gold = has ventured into Hell Mode.

Make sense? I've seen the shareware guys, they are solid gray. Very
different from the red, grey and gold box.

Hmmm.  No.  I haven't played on anything besides Normal, and MY box is
gold with my character wearing gray clothes (Level 7 Warrior).

Gee.  Maybe we should put together a "Little Multiplayer Pictures
FAQ". (grin)

Fighter
	Clothes		Silver		Gold
	Frame		Gold		Gold

Rogue
	Clothes		Red		Gold
	Frame		Silver		Gold

Sorcerer
	Clothes		Red		Gold
	Frame		Red		Gold

Not quite.  You get one dot if you kill him on Normal.  Two if you kill him
on Nightmare.  Three on Hell.  If you kill him on Nightmare before you kill
him on Normal, you'll get two dots anyway.  I suppose the game only keeps
track of the toughest level on which you've killed him and assumes you've
killed him on the easier ones (which typically happens).

No, but you do get 1 dot the first time you kill Diablo on each of the
three settings (i.e 1 dot for normal, 1 for nightmare and 1 for hell.)

I assume that the reason you get three dots if you're playing hell mode
when you kill diablo for the first time, is that the game equates hell
to be three times as tough as normal and twice as tough as nightmare and
therefore gives you the 2 extra dots. (Or something like that.)

If you kill diablo for the first time on nightmare, you'll get 2 dots.

Maybe a better way of phrasing it would be "The number of dots shows the
highest difficulty you've been on when Diablo was killed" using the above
scale for dots
