Jim, aren't you one of the ltsp developers?  (Or am I way off base)  
Regardless, it's an amazing resource to have you on this list.  With 
this simple statement:

"I'm guessing you have a library mis-match problem."

You led me to the solution. (The original posting I found through google helped too.  He said he developed his idea by bringing over libraries from a FC2 computer that had SimCity working.  I had tried to use his set of libraries that he had thoughtfully bundled up for people following in his footsteps.)  

Anyway, I tried a brute force attack on the problem.  I simply rsnyc'd over directories of libraries from my K12ltsp 4.2.2 server (where SimCity worked before) into that "loki_comat" directory on my new server. I had to try 4 different directories of the same libraries until I found ones that worked.  But it was indeed, obviously [to you], a library "mis-match problem".  Thank you so much for helping me with my trivialities.  If it means anything to you, you've helped make an 11 year old SimCity addict very happy.
