Interesting note about this is it is a NVIDIA/COMPIZ problem not a Unity issue. Compiz dependant GNOME session did the same thing.

I logged in under 2d version and disabled the proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards VIA settings/additional drivers setting.

It defaults you back to nouveau drivers

I then cleaned my system with ubucleaner and rebooted and logged back in regular session instead of 2D. All is good.

Info about UbuCleaner can be found here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubucleaner-simple-bash-script-to-keep-your-ubuntu-system-clean.html

I tried re-enabling NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver for both current and post current versions and the problem came back.

Until this can be solved, I guess reverting to Nouveau is the best choice.
