Following a (problematic) upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS, I've run into this problem on a Samsung Series 9 laptop (Intel graphics). The Ctrl+Alt+F1/Ctrl+Alt+F7 workaround is not effective.

uname -r

apt list compiz
compiz/trusty-updates,now 1:0.9.11.1+14.04.20140701-0ubuntu1 all [installed]

apt list xserver-xorg-video-intel
Listing... Done

Other things to note:
* Standard Terminal appears as black-on-black, also with the big black border. xterm works though (with border)
* Boot menu doesn't appear - I get a black screen with a purple border, which (presumably) times out and gives me a graphical login
