I think the following should work to disable compiz to get back to normal 
desktop again:
1) ctrl-alt-F1 to get to bash prompt, and login
2) sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3) Add the following:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "disable"
EndSection
4) save file, quit pico, logout.
5) ctrl-alt-F7 to get back to white screen
6) ctrl-alt-backspace to force restart of x-windows

I didn't test the above because I fixed my white screen problem (see
next comment)
