The Position module has a new setting, "Position UI Tooltip." Here you can choose to place the default Unit tooltip next to the fake libqtip tooltip, choosing top, bottom, left, right, or position it offscreen.

Positioning it offscreen as opposed to just hiding it keeps the GameTooltip valid for the unit. Otherwise if hide it then GameTooltip:GetUnit() returns nothing, which breaks other addons.
This is one of the main reasons the switch to libqtip was warranted. Once you hide or otherwise trash the GameTooltip, then it's left disfunctional.
Allowing the user to position the default tooltip alongside the fake tooltip will allow players to use StarTip along with other addons that otherwise modify the default tooltip, such as MyRolePlay.
