@ Joseph Salisbury, I'll be glad to do that but it'll be a couple of days due to prior commitments.

Further testing reveals the same results with Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME but I found that both the Xubuntu and Lubuntu images will boot properly on this box so I installed Lubuntu and then installed the ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-gnome-desktop, and gnome-session-flashback meta-packages just to try some things. After doing so I found that the Unity, GNOME Shell, Gnome Classic, and Flashback w/Compiz sessions produce broken graphics just as the Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu live images do. So basically Compiz and Mutter both fail to display any usable UI. OTOH both the Lubuntu and Flashback w/Metacity sessions work just fine. I next opened the Additional drivers UI and chose nvidia-304.125 (current) and all DE's perform quite well with the proprietary drivers so I deduced that nouveau might be the culprit. The last known working Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME live images are 14.04.1. I hadn't tried Utopic on this box yet but it's also a fail. I'll try the proposed 14.04.2 images ASAP (probably after Vivid Alpha 2 is released). But I see no point in trying to fix this for Utopic (or even 14.04.2 if it's effected) because of the 9 month life-cycle for Utopic and the continued availability of the 14.04.1 images. In fact I'd be cool with this not being fixed until 16.04 as long as it's documented so people know what versions will and will not work. I'm probably forgetting something but that's all I can think of ATM. Sorry in advance if I did this totally wrong.
