Change font lock interactive ESS buffer

Question

I use ESS to run R and sometimes evaluate long blocks of code interactively. I'd like errors to stick out in the interactive process.

Currently, Error: messages generated by R appear in a greenish-blue font lock color. I'd like something more dramatic, maybe a red background and white text. Can anyone tell me how to edit my .emacs file to achieve this behavior?

Thanks.

This is a bug. It was solved in ESS v13.09. Thanks.

edit: The bug was that "Error:" type keywords were re-highlighted by compilation mode and that the "normal" font-lock-warning-face was not getting through.
