I've no immediate solution, but I've some comments.

1/ If you don't have a physical braille device attached, then you can 
ignore the
"Could not initialize connection to braille." Orca should work just fine for
speech output even with this message.

2/ If you can put the .orca directory back, please do that. Then do into
~/.orca/user-settings.py and uncomment the three lines:

orca.debug.debugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_ALL

orca.debug.eventDebugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_OFF

orca.debug.debugFile = open('debug.out', 'w', 0)

Change directories to your home directory, and run "orca --gui-setup" again.
If you are using Orca v0.2.4 (as opposed to the latest from CVS HEAD),
use the F12 key to terminate Orca. Send me the debug.out file that's 
been generated.
If you can't put the .orca directory back, see #3 below.

3/ Does "orca --text-setup" work for you? It should give you a load of 
questions
written to stdout which you will need to respond to. If this works, try 
then following it up
with setting the three debug lines above, followed by running "orca 
--gui-setup"
(or just "orca -s") afterwards. Does the GUI comes up now? If not, send 
me the debug.out from
the "orca -s " run.

Thanks.
