What happens if you use the new code and the braille display is connected 
before Orca starts?

What happens if, again using the new code, you restart brltty first, and then 
restart Orca?

Which version of Orca are you using? I'm wondering if you're using an older 
version of Orca that only tries the connect once, right at startup. Perhaps you 
can capture an Orca log to see if it just tries once or if it retries.
