Hummm, almost...

Keep the trigger (even though *this* particular statement doesn't use it,
it will be needed for batch inserts) but MAKE SURE the generator only fires
if the PK_value is null:

create trigger bi...
as
begin
if (new.PK_value is null) then
new.PK_value = gen_id(TheGenerator, 1);
end

As Nando said, use GeneratorLinks for your interactive inserts:
PK_value=TheGenerator (NOTE no spaces!!)
