desktop-effects start/stop command

Dear All! Is there a way to start and stop desktop-effects using some command? I'm pretty happy running desktop-effects all the time except when I want to use Blender. With desktop-effects enabled Blender 3D-window is half-transparent and there's other artefact on panels. I run Blender using 'LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender'. It's the only way to use it. I would like to create an alias for 'blender' with something like desktop-effects --stop | LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender'. Or even write a small script that would disable effects when Blender starts and enable them after it exits. Suggestions? Thanks for attention! -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982.
