Hi, You will need to install a different window manager, for example MATE, or LXDE, and then use it when logging in via LightDM, you can then set this as the default. MATE and LXDE do not use Compiz as their backend, so will not have the issues you are facing.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/install-mate-desktop-ubuntu-14-04-lts The above link explains how to install MATE onto a vanilla install of 14.04. Good luck!
