Yes, `x' is not in a menu-bar menu. It should be. If you use Dired+, it is. There, you have submenu `Delete', with menu items `Delete Marked (not Flagged)' and `Delete Flagged'. The former has key `D', and the latter has key `x'. (In Dired+, menu-bar menu `Operate' is named `Multiple', so submenu `Delete' is `Multiple > Delete', not `Operate > Delete'.)
